## Description

The Adafruit PiCowbell OV5640 Camera Breakout with Autofocus adds a 5-megapixel camera with a 120-degree wide-angle lens and autofocus motor to your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W. Capture raw RGB images for analysis or use the OV5640's built-in JPEG encoding to save photos to a microSD card or upload them to the cloud. The RP2040's fast PIO peripheral handles the 8-bit parallel DVP camera interface, while the onboard 16 MHz oscillator provides the required clock signal. A microSD card slot, shutter button, reset button, and STEMMA QT connector are all included on board, with 6 GPIO pins still available after all connections. Key Features OV5640 5MP Camera with Autofocus – 120-degree wide-angle lens with motor-driven focus 8-bit DVP Interface – Uses RP2040 PIO for fast parallel data capture (GPIO 0–14) MicroSD Card Slot – SPI on GPIO 16–19, optional card detect on GPIO 15 Shutter Button – Dedicated button on GPIO 22 STEMMA QT / Qwiic – I2C connector on GPIO 4/5 for additional sensors 16 MHz Onboard Oscillator – Generates XClock for the camera module Reset Button – Quick restart access Note: Autofocus requires loading a firmware binary over I2C, then controlling focus with I2C commands. The VMotor line is connected to 3.3V for the autofocus motor. Otherwise, the camera behaves identically to the fixed-focus OV5640. Pin Assignments Camera – VSync (0), PWDN (1), HSync (2), PCLK (3), SDA/SCL (4/5), D0–D7 (6–13), Reset (14) MicroSD – SPI (16, 18, 19), CS (17), Detect (15) Shutter – GPIO 22 Tip: Since the camera points upward, a PiCowbell Doubler lets you mount the Pico on one side with the BOOT button accessible and the camera on the other. Ideal For Image capture requiring variable focus distances Close-up photography and macro imaging with Pico Computer vision and image processing projects IoT camera applications with Pico W Also Consider PiCowbell Camera – 120° Low Distortion (Fixed Focus) – No autofocus, lower lens distortion Package Contents 1× PiCowbell Camera Breakout PCB (assembled) 1× OV5640 Camera Sensor with autofocus and 120-degree lens 2× 20-pin header strips (soldering required)
