It uses the OV5640 image sensor, giving you a 5 Megapixel camera module on a board designed to simplify wiring and prototyping.The board includes a 120-degree fisheye lens and an autofocus motor, along with the supporting circuitry needed to get up and running. Adafruit has also reworked the usual camera module format to make it more practical on the bench, including header options that suit breadboards and perfboard, plus selectable clock generation.For autofocus operation, the module needs a new firmware binary loaded over I2C, and the VM jumper on the back of the camera module must be shorted so DATA1 can supply 3.3V power for the motor. Once configured, the autofocus system is controlled over I2C to start a focus routine and check when focusing has completed. If you do not use autofocus, it behaves like a standard OV5640-based camera sensor.This is a handy option for embedded imaging, machine vision experiments and custom camera projects where you want a compact module that is easier to mount and prototype with than many bare camera boards.Features:Image sensor: OV5640 camera with a 5 Megapixel sensor elementLens: 120-degree fisheye lensFocus: Autofocus motorHeader layout: Standard 2x9 header if you want itBreadboard-friendly connection: Duplicated header strip 0.3" apart so you can plug it into a breadboard or perfboardClock options: Selectable external or internal 24MHz "XCLK" clock generationGPIO saving: Save one GPIO pin by using the onboard clock generationStable clocking: Provides a nice stable 24 MHz signal even if your microcontroller can't generate it for youThermal design: Heat-sinking camera area with exposed ground padThermal transfer: Lots of vias for good thermal transferContinuous operation: Helpful for continuous encoding and reducing thermal image driftMotor power option: Optional VMotor 3.3V power jumper on DATA1 for auto-focusing camera modulesStatus LED: 3.3V power-good LED on back that can be disabledCompatibility: Backwards compatible with existing camera modulesAutofocus control: Autofocus system is controlled with I2C commands to begin an auto-focus procedure and determine that focus is complete **Product Type:** Camera Module ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDoUQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--09aebefcfd60a3e78b5a53b7feabb0e44f968608/5838-00.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDo0QBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--f1b5ba847d84d74708857750913ae3a01ca340a4/5838-02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDpEQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--4da78225ecaf08acbada2db939703d47ef5de2d6/5838-01.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDpUQBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--d421a67b09b1e1a7c9383ea18efc17a735598d30/5838-03.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
