To upgrade to the current SharpShot Vision, contact the distributor you bought it from and send it back: the firmware update is free, and the buyer pays shipping both ways.

Which edition

Get the Universal I2C edition and connect it to the I2C header of a micro:bit breakout (SDA = P20, SCL = P19), factory address 0x4C. It must use an external 5 V supply (ESP32 camera + screen + lights), not the micro:bit 3V pin; share the supply GND with the micro:bit.
