Nemesis is a ROS robot which extends the Monsterborg base with an external senor suite and i7 computer with experimental autonomous navigation support.
The Pi Camera module 3 has arrived and I wanted to add it to my monsterBorg. I also swapped to m3 hardware as it's more readily available to me but in hindsight I should have left it alone.
The square hole need to be enlarged to 12x12mm to facilitate the larger camera. I used a hand file. I also drilled
out the holes to 3mm.
I very carefully enlarged the holes on the Pi Camera to 3mm. You can see on the board, there is clearance.
I didn't like how the camera mounted crooked, so I stacked washers as shims/spacers and found I needed ~2mm of space. I sanded 2 nylon spacers to 2mm.
I assembled it all. Using m3x10 screws, my spacer, and a locking nut to secure it in place.
And here is where I found why m3 screw don't work well. The clearance on the back between the nut and the resistor is ~0.5mm or less, I need to swap to a nylon nut so I don't short it to the frame.
Mods, feel free to edit my post to put the images inline, I couldn't figure it out. Done :)
Also, the latest version of RasbPi (BullsEye), no longer supports the picamera library.
I've updated the ball following code to use the new picamera2 library if anyone is interested, let me know and I can upload it. The entire codebase needs updating to bullseye, python3, etc.. but it looks like this project is pretty dead.

Awesome :)
I really like the addition of keyboard controls, we did not think of that :)
Would you mind if we added this to the Web UI GitHub for others to see as well?
