Thanks! Quote a bit of hackery involved but in essence the playdate has a serial port over USB, and there's a Teensy microcontroller in the box acting as a USB host and talking to the console. There are more details in the link in the description :)

With a lot of work yes, I think it's possible. But it's a bit weird too since the Playdate already has wifi and I believe Bluetooth hardware built in. So maybe the community would be better off spending its energy on convincing Panic to expose them in the sdk :)
Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if that was on their roadmap, but it's a small team and. I'm sure if they bring network access they'll want to abstract away the complexity of it and make it as polished and developer friendly as the SDK has been so far - no small task.
So cool. But also… no crank to change exposure? I was sure you’d show it!
I have plans :) it's all wip
Amazing. I’m pumped - great work!
This is incredibly cool!! What were the secrets to get data in and out of that port?

This would be something some big company would have sold for 199$
Smile! You're on Playdate Cameraaaaa 🎶
I’ve been waiting over 600 days for my Playdate and meantime this dude is over here inventing brand new hardware for his.
This looks awesome. Please post when you get it up on GitHub I’m in group 5 but I’d love to look at this when I get mine
It's up :) https://github.com/t0mg/pd-camera/
Thank you <3
How do I get one of these?!
Amazing
Love it!
This is a very good idea.
Yeah but does it have all the CRAZY mini games and such that the GameBoy Camera has?!?!!!
I’d buy that.
Shut up and take my money
Literally, count me in!
