Camera that captures photos to cassette tape


This project is a DIY digital-to-analog tape picture camera: a strange hybrid between modern embedded imaging and old-school audio recording. The idea is simple (and a bit crazy): Take a photo digitally with an ESP32-CAM Convert the image into an analog SSTV audio signal Record that signal onto a standard audio cassette tape Play the tape back later Decode the SSTV signal and recover the original picture In short: photos stored on cassette tapes, like a retro-futuristic digital camera system from the 1980s.
