A Custom MicroPython binary

Introduction

We have already seen how to create a custom MicroPython binary when we integrated all the modules needed for the WEB server. In case of the camera driver things are even a bit more tricky. The driver integrated into esp-idf is written in C and we must get access to its functions through MicroPython. We therefore need a MicroPython to C interface. A simple example on how to do this, can be found this chapter of the MicroPython manual.

In addition to the diver itself we must enable the external psram needed to store the rather big image data.
