I’d like to mount a small web cam on an X-Carve spindle assembly, focused on the bit. Does anyone have a recommendation for a camera which would work well with ChiliPepper, for that view?

i’ve used the raspberry pi camera… i guess it depends on what sort of solution and software you are looking for.

I just want something small enough to fit inside a dust shoe and which can be viewed with the ChiliPepper webcam widget.

I’ll take a look at the RP camera. Thanks!

Because ChiliPeppr is browser based, WebRTC is built in. So any webcam these days supports WebRTC. The webcam viewer supports WebRTC but the underlying codebase for it has gotten a bit stale as the cloud library I was relying on has gone away. So it needs a tiny bit of revamping to support WebRTC.

almost every network camera supports MJPEG… which can be embedded in any webpage with a simple tag. This should also be an option. I forked the webcam widget to do this. Way simpler then WebRTC.
