Open-source 35mm full-frame (36mm x 24mm) CCD mirror-less interchangable lens camera (MILC). The original goal of this project was to create a digital camera back to convert SLR cameras to DSLR cameras, but has since changed to build a full MILC.
I have made 2 videos about this project:
- First video in 2023 (r0.6 hardware): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma9FrN5COIo
- Second video in 2024 (r0.11-B hardware): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkfzjmY9cF8

Hardware R0.11 tested and working. The hardware still need a lot of work and is not ready yet.
See old-versions.md for change logs, stories, and photos of old revisions!
Unless otherwise stated, the hardware design is released under CERN-OHL-P, and the software/ firmware are released under MIT.
