I'm thinking of making a DIY SMT Pick and Place machine for small home projects. What hardware and camera would you recommend for image processing. TinyML?
The goal is to make an XY-table with a camera and a vacuum pickup and place tool. The small SMT parts in the 0201 package will be placed in the corner of the XY table on a piece of anti-static plastic in numbered rectangles written in marker, which should allow the camera to pick up the correct part lying in any position but with the correct side up (and possibly recognize a Pin 1 on the part) and place it in the correct place on the PCB using the PnP file.
