This SPI Camera Module is made for easy integration with microcontrollers such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ESP32 etc via a standard SPI interface. It functions like a DSLR with built-in high-level commands, making it simple to control. It also features a 3 MP resolution for sharp and crisp images, power-saving capabilities, including quick wake-up in 42ms and low power consumption under 200mW.
It supports up to four cameras using multiplexing and offers an open-source SDK for easy integration with new MCUs. Sealed in a durable ABS case, it's compact and great for various projects.
For the 5 MP version with autofocus, click here to find it in our shop.
Features
- Extremely easy to use. High-level commands were built in so you manipulate the camera through API access like using a DSLR camera via button clicks.
- Quick sleep and quick wake-up (within 42ms). No worries about loading long register settings. The power consumption is as low as under 200mW.
- Up to 4 cameras run on a single MCU using an adapter board. They capture it at the same time with a sequential readout.
- The SDK is fully open-source with an MIT license. A lean architecture with a hardware abstraction layer, enabling you to add a new MCU without effort.
- It fits any microcontroller with a single standard SPI interface (either native or mimic). 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit, ARM, RISC-V, or others. Arduino, STM8/STM32, ESP8266/ESP32, MSP430, Nordic, Renesas, and countless more.
