Anyone have any experience with these Cam modules?

I installed the example camera code and it works, albeit with pretty low quality, but it makes an audible crackling noise only whilst streaming. It sounds like a faint old school spinning hard disk.

It’s unnerving since the module has no moving parts. 😬

    @deshipu warm, but not hot.

    @deshipu oh weird. So you think the shield on the module is heating up from current draw and deforming as packets are sent? That’s wild, but makes sense.

    It does make a faint static sound while idle. I wonder what is going on there. Background packets?

    @deshipu @piggo I did a 5 minute stream at high resolution and it got to 39.9c - so you’re right on with that.
