cameraif ยท moved

cameraif has moved into micropython-pydevices.

cameraif Moved to micropython-pydevices as modules/cameraif, with its history. It was never published on its own: it reaches you in firmware built by micropython-pydevices' build_mp.py, so that is where it is built, tested and changed now. Your code doesn't change. The old repository is archived.

Where it went

Same code, same history, one repository fewer

cameraif now lives in micropython-pydevices, the repository that builds MicroPython with PyDevices' C modules compiled in. It was never released on its own: it reached you in firmware built by micropython-pydevices, so that is where it is built, tested and changed now. The old repository is archived and kept as a record; open issues and pull requests against micropython-pydevices.

Build it in

Name it in the build, as before 
git clone https://github.com/PyDevices/micropython-pydevices
cd micropython-pydevices
./build_mp.py --port unix --modules cameraif

Your code doesn’t change: import cameraif works as before. The module builds for the ESP32-P4; on other ports its bodies are stubbed.
