This project turns the "eyeball" of the Gameboy Camera into a webcam.

Made in KiCad, check out the boards directory.

Run source setup.sh, then ./flash.sh. You can run ./serial.sh in another tab to show the log output. ./flash.sh will wait until it sees the device (you have to press down BOOTSEL + RESET).

Adafruit has a wonderful blog showing you how to tone down the annoying "disk ejected unsafely" notifications. It doesn't remove it but at least they auto-dismiss.

In rev1, the footprint for the JST connector (the one hooked up to the gameboy camera) is backwards. It needs to be turned 180 - fortunately there is just barely enough clearance that the board still works if you flip it around.
