The Great Search: A Small Heatsink for a Camera Module

What this episode covers

Our OV5640 camera is working great, but we notice it does heat up quite a bit. We want to add a little heatsink option to our breakout so that the camera can be cooled off a little while it's running. Digi-Key stocks hundreds of thousands of different heat sinks, let's see what we can find that is small enough to fit.
