If you cite octoprint as an example of the success of your ideology, then I'd ask you to look into the thousands of user reports of problems setting it up, without even a webcam. Then look into the problems added on top trying to use the odd types of cameras you are talking about. The best success seems to be had from typical USB cameras.
I cited Octoprint as an example of the demand for cameras.
Thousands? That seems a bit hyperbolic. Anyway I can find lots of folks having trouble setting up the 0.8.5, does that mean its a bad board? Same for iPhone, or really any other electronic device more complicated than a toaster. It just means that folks have questions when doing something they've never done before.
@bot:
Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you should. Have the creators of the duet not already stated there are potential performance issues just by exposing the pins? Did I misread the beginning of the thread?
There are potential issues exposing the high speed SPI pins. I'm not asking for those. So again, what exactly is being compromised by simply bringing some otherwise unused signals out to a header?
Anyway, I'm sorry for causing such a fuss about this.
