Incorporating single-board computers into a hobby such as model railways is a great way for a maker to double their pleasure by combining their passions. In this tutorial, we're going to develop a Raspberry Pi camera system to produce a video from a moving HO scale model train.
The tutorial will introduce the latest Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (PZ2W) and provide the configuration details required to stream video from the camera-fitted Pi. We'll also touch on the model rail cars.
The PZ2W is ideal for this project. Its small physical size fits nicely in the limited space of an HO-scale model rail car. The quad-core processor packs enough processing power to support streaming content. All aboard? Then let's get started.
