I've been working on a lepton project for about 5 months. The resources for examples and debugging are scarce and I don't have a lot of time to spend on it. It should be much cheaper than this using an ESP32. I haven't gotten it to work though.

I did get it working (but choppy) on a Pi Zero. I might be able to get it working smoothly if I wanted to trim down some of the other processes and prioritize this one. But the ESP32 should have faster start up.

I guess what I'm saying is be prepared for headaches if you want a truly DIY or really cheap lepton project.

Was your software running bare metal or with an OS?

On the Pi? I had an OS. I think it was the standard raspberry pi OS. I wanted to do Arch Linux Arm for the supposedly lighter xfce, but I couldn't find it. I'm way to dumb to do it bare metal all by myself.
