Very fragile connectors
Hello,
I have tried to solder wires on the camera’s pins but it’s really hard. After having managed to solder all of them I pulled on one wire and the complete pin went out from the camera. So I would recommand to attach the camera directly to a PCB as in the article.
I had no choice but to cut the black box containing the camera. You can see the pictures in the official Arduino forum. The sensor has eight copper lines with a 0.875mm pitch (SMD standard ?). So it appears even harder to solder…
