## Description

This breakout makes it much easier to work with the OV5640 image sensor on capable microcontroller platforms. It combines a 5 Megapixel OV5640 camera with a 72-degree non-distorting lens, autofocus motor, and the support circuitry needed to bring the module out to a practical board.It is designed for boards with enough pins, DMA performance and RAM to handle an 8-bit parallel camera interface, such as RP2040 and ESP32-Sx series devices. Adafruit has kept the module backwards compatible while improving the layout for prototyping, breadboarding and more reliable clock generation.The board includes a standard 2x9 header option as well as a duplicated header strip spaced 0.3" apart, making it easier to plug into breadboard or perfboard. For autofocus use, the module requires a new firmware binary to be loaded over I2C, and the VM jumper on the back of the camera module must be shorted so DATA1 can provide 3.3V motor power. Focus is then controlled with I2C commands to start the autofocus procedure and check when it has completed.Features:Sensor: 5 Megapixel OV5640 sensor elementLens: 72-degree non-distorting lensAutofocus: Autofocus motorHeaders: Standard 2x9 header if you want it, plus a duplicated header strip 0.3" apart so you can plug it into a breadboard or perfboardXCLK: Selectable external or internal 24MHz "XCLK" clock generationThermal design: Heat-sinking camera area with exposed ground pad, with lots of vias for good thermal transferVMotor jumper: Optional VMotor 3.3V power jumper on DATA1, for auto-focusing camera modulesPower LED: 3.3V power-good LED on back that can be disabledSpecifications:Product Dimensions: 35.7mm x 23.0mm x 17.5mm / 1.4" x 0.9" x 0.7"A solid option for machine vision experiments, image capture projects and embedded camera work where you want an OV5640 module on a breakout that is easier to mount and prototype with.
