Removing the Camera Sensor from the OAK-1

ChristophMuehrke · 2025-04-02T11:16:04+00:00

Hello, I'd like to reposition the camera sensor, since I'll fit the OAK-1 into a new enclosure, but for it to still function I need to flip the Camera Sensor by 90°.
Does anyone know if the adhesive softens under heat, or how I could loosen it up a bit?
Kind regards
Christoph

Why not just rotate the image?

Thanks,

I've meant to flip it, from looking "up" if the board lies on its back, to looking to the side lets say to the left. I phrased it not so clear, sorry. I need to look "along a pipe" which is just wide enough to fit the pcb, but not tall enough.

Ah, ok. You generally don't need to soften the adhesive. I've always done it using a scalpel or very sharp knife. It comes off relatively easily.
