+This project aims to support various cameras (e.g. OV2640, OV5640) on different MicroPython ports, starting with the ESP32 port. The project implements a general API, has precompiled FW images and supports a lot of cameras out of the box.
 At the moment, this is a micropython user module, but it might get in the micropython repo in the future.
 The API is stable, but it might change without previous announce.
