This video was the perfect length for opening my ThinkPad, adding a second NVME drive, and then closing it back up. None of that is relevant to the new product, but I found the coincidence interesting and thought I would share.

Is there a link to a write-up of the optimized board and camera around the 4:00 minute mark? It would be cool to see a blog post that goes more in-depth about it, with links to each of the products.

I would love to integrate your technology into our online courses and cloud IoT projects in the months to come

Could you please make a "for dummies" vid showing the toolchain you use for programming the RP2xx0 boards? Using Arduino is a bear, and *python seems like the only option, especially if your org.'s "security policies" disable USB-mass-storage access :/
What do _you_ use? VSCode?
