A hobbyist builds a prototype full-frame CCD camera from scratch, with open-source design files and a custom PCB. The video shows the first, still rough prototype.
Why Hacker News points people here: HN points to it as an example of advanced DIY hardware, specifically a camera using an affordable Kodak CCD sensor with global shutter.

Channel with advanced DIY hardware projects
That's unfortunate, as hackaday feels like that too me versus it's older writing style. I was hoping to see more advanced projects and I found it in this channel. this video

Example of a project built around a Kodak sensor
I have seen some people work on a Kodak sensor and also Cine Pi's latest work with the IMX585 sensor is really amazing (4K/8K upscaled). The IMX585 sensor is expensive though compared to the HQ Cam IMX477. Here I'm using the Pi Zero 2 here so can't do 4K I believe (data lanes limit or something, also writing to SD card). Kodak sensor this video Recent CinePi work link I'm not affiliated with CinePi I'm just amazed what you can do when you know what you're doing ha (eg. color grading)
