This repository will help you to build and setup a SEED XIAO camera module based on the ESP32S3 camera module featuring an OV2640 camera sensor.
Curious to see what this looks like? Keep scrolling!
Features:
- adds a digital camera to the UC2 System
- enables sharing your results easily
By adding a microscope objective lens, a folding mirror and a torch, a simple compound microscope can be created:
The source code for the camera can be found here: https://github.com/beniroquai/SeeedStudio-XIAO-ESP32S3-Sense-camera
The online flashing tool to flash the software can be found here: https://matchboxscope.github.io/firmware/FLASH.html
Additional information about the camera module can be found here: https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/xiao_esp32s3_getting_started
Below we describe how the device can be build and assembled in order to replicate the whole system as shown in the rendering above. One needs additional parts that can be found in the core openUC2 repository.
Below you will find all components necessary to build this device
All these files need to be printed. We used a Prusa i3 MK3 using PLA Prusament (Galaxy Black) at layer height 0.3 mm and infill 20%.

This project is open-source and is released under the CERN open hardware license. Our aim is to make the kits commercially available. We encourage everyone who is using our Toolbox to share their results and ideas, so that the Toolbox keeps improving. It should serve as a easy-to-use and easy-to-access general purpose building block solution for the area of STEAM education. All the design files are generally for free, but we would like to hear from you how is it going.
You're free to fork the project and enhance it. If you have any suggestions to improve it or add any additional functions make a pull-request or file an issue.
