## Description

The Adafruit PiCowbell OV5640 Camera Breakout with Autofocus (72°) adds a 5-megapixel camera with a standard 72-degree non-distorting lens and autofocus motor to your Raspberry Pi Pico or Pico W. The narrower field of view produces natural-looking images without the barrel distortion of wider lenses. Capture raw RGB images for analysis or use the OV5640's built-in JPEG encoding to save photos to a microSD card. 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. Key Features OV5640 5MP Camera with Autofocus – 72-degree non-distorting 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. 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 Ideal For Natural-perspective image capture without wide-angle distortion Close-up photography and variable-distance focus with Pico Computer vision and image processing projects IoT camera applications with Pico W Also Consider PiCowbell Camera – Autofocus 120° Lens – Wider field of view with autofocus PiCowbell Camera – 120° Low Distortion (Fixed Focus) – Wide angle without autofocus Package Contents 1× PiCowbell Camera Breakout PCB (assembled) 1× OV5640 Camera Sensor with autofocus and 72-degree lens 2× 20-pin header strips (soldering required)
