Hello all, been a long while since I've been here, thought I'd come back with something a bit on the niche and interesting side of things.
Years ago I got my hands on a GameBoy Camera, and just the other day I found a nice tutorial on how to get the images off of the GameBoy Camera using an Arduino, and now that I have a way to actually share the photos I take with it, thought it would be fun to take a few quick pictures of my lasers with whats possibly the lowest quality digital camera in existence. ;)
Heres my 510 green:

And another of the 510, by itself in a dark room:

Truly these are of groundbreaking quality XD.
Jokes aside though, I do like how the camera basically turns real life into pixel art :D
For those interested, the GameBoy Camera shoots 128X112 images with 2 bits of monochrome value, which means the camera has a palette of black, dark grey, light grey, and white to work with.
