Mod Turns Your Graphing Calculator into a Selfie Camera

Your Graphing Calculator May Not be Getting Much Use these Days, Now that, Other Mobile Devices Can do the Job but, it still has a Few Tricks Up its Sleeve if you're Willing to do Some Tinkering. Christopher Mitchell's Latest Project, 'ArTICam', Lets you Turn a TI-83 Plus or TI-84 Plus Calculator into a Selfie-Oriented Camera. The Modification Mostly Requires a Game Boy Camera and a Programmable Arduino Board like the Uno. After a Little Bit of Wiring and Some (Thankfully Ready-Made) Code, you Can Snap Self-Portraits with a Calculator Command. The 128 x 123 Grayscale Pictures you Take, Won't Win Photography Awards but, that's Not the Point -- this is More about Having Fun with Gadgets that Might Otherwise Sit in the Closet Gathering Dust. Hit the Source Link if you Have the Gear and Want to Give 'ArTICam' a Whirl.
