StarlightEye: OpenSource IMX585 Camera Board for Raspberry Pi

Version 2.0 Changes

Mainly changed the power tree so now it does not require an external 5V input but the board can take all the power from FPC directly, there is a step-up converter that will step it up to 3.6V which is powering both IR filter switch (When used) and 3.3V analog LDO/1.8V Digital LDO input. By doing so the board size can finally shrink down to a perfect 39mm square which also matches the latest OneInchEye.

The only down side is that the Step-Up convter I'm using here (TPSM83100) is expensive AF, I was going to pick TPSM81033 that is both cheaper and better but I have been waiting it to go on the market for four month now, I don't know when TI will actually get them ship to Mouser so for now I'm stuck with TPSM83100.

Introduction

Welcome to the StarlightEye project, an open-source camera board designed for Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 boards using the IMX585. This project aims to provide a high-quality, affordable, and accessible camera module for advanced Raspberry Pi projects. The board is designed using KiCad v6, a popular open-source electronics design automation (EDA) software.

StarlightEye captures stunning high-resolution images and videos with improved low-light performance and dynamic range. It's perfect for photography enthusiasts, developers, and makers who want to level up their Raspberry Pi projects with a powerful camera.
