 +In this part, we are working on the integration of the Camera in a PCB and mounted inside the Bird Box. 
 + 
 +What does the PCB consist of? Before answering this question, I would like to give you a look at how the PCB was developed. 
 + 
 +First, we identified the goal. We want an electronic device that takes pictures in the dark (as inside the box during night it's almost complete darkness) and then uploads these photos to an online server to be analyzed. 
 + 
 +Then we need a Camera, and in our case, the **ESP32-S3 XIAO Sense** was a good option as it's very small, has low power consumption, includes a Wi-Fi module, and it's relatively cheap, costing around 13€. In the following table, you will find a list of parts used to develop this PCB. 
 + 
 +^ Part                      ^ Number  ^ Price €  ^ Comment 
 +ESP32-S3 XIAO Sense       | 1       | 13                | 
 +| IR333-A IR LED            | 4       | 0.49              | 
 +| BD139 NPN Transistor      | 1       | 0.6      |          | 
 +| Jumpers MM                | 25      | 6        |          | 
 +| Solar Charger BQ24074     | 1       | 14.20    |          | 
 +| DC Battery 3.7V 2200 mAh  | 1       | 19                | 
 +| Resistors                 | 10      |          |          | 
 +| Solar Cell                | 1                |          | 
 + 
 +*So let's first speak about some parts separately.* 
 + 
 +  - **ESP32-S3 XIAO**: 
 + 
 +This board is being offered by Seeed Studio. The Seeed Studio XIAO Series are diminutive development boards, sharing a similar hardware structure, where the size is literally thumb-sized. The code name "XIAO" here represents its feature "Tiny", and the other half will be "Puissant". Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 Sense integrates a camera sensor, digital microphone, and SD card support. Combining embedded ML computing power and photography capability, this development board can be a great tool to get started with intelligent voice and vision AI. 
 + 
 +Here you can see the Pinout for the board:

 +{{:projects:wifi-cam:2.jpg?600|}}\\ 
 +|As you can see, it comes in two parts which can be attached together, one part has the SoC and the other part has the Camera, Microphone, and the SD-Card slot.|
