Raspberry PI Camera with magnify: SMD Soldering from screen

Help & Support Robot Parts
1

For SMD soldering purposes we are looking for a Raspberry PI camera which shows the solering area on a LCD screen. We tested it now with a standard rpi camera which works quiet well but found the magnification too less.

We found many different ardunocam but do not understand the differences very clear.
Can you advise which camera and lens to order? A lens with a magnify factor of about 4 should be great, realtime picture on the screen is important.
Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Hello @akro and welcome to the forum!

I think an adjustable focus camera module would be perfect for your project. Here are some options:


But I’ve also read that you can hack a regular fixed focus Rpi camera and adjust the focus according to your needs, you can read more abour this here: https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=46637

I also think this could be interesting for you:
