The widest lens option in the PiCowbell camera range, it captures the maximum scene coverage in each frame — ideal for surveillance, room monitoring, and panoramic imaging.\n\nThe 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.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nOV5640 5MP Camera – Ultra-wide 160-degree lens, fixed infinite focus (no autofocus)\n\n8-bit DVP Interface – Uses RP2040 PIO for fast parallel data capture (GPIO 0–14)\n\nMicroSD Card Slot – SPI on GPIO 16–19, optional card detect on GPIO 15\n\nShutter Button – Dedicated button on GPIO 22\n\nSTEMMA QT / Qwiic – I2C connector on GPIO 4/5 for additional sensors\n\n16 MHz Onboard Oscillator – Generates XClock for the camera module\n\nReset Button – Quick restart access\n\n\nPin Assignments\n\n\nCamera – VSync (0), PWDN (1), HSync (2), PCLK (3), SDA/SCL (4/5), D0–D7 (6–13), Reset (14)\n\nMicroSD – SPI (16, 18, 19), CS (17), Detect (15)\n\nShutter – GPIO 22\n\n\n\nTip: 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.\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nMaximum field-of-view surveillance and monitoring\nRoom-scale and panoramic image capture\nComputer vision projects needing the widest coverage\nIoT camera applications with Pico W\n\n\nAlso Consider\n\n\nPiCowbell Camera – 120° Wide Angle (Fixed Focus) – Slightly narrower, less distortion\n\nPiCowbell Camera – 120° Low Distortion (Fixed Focus) – Wide angle with minimal barrel distortion\n\nPiCowbell Camera – Autofocus 72° Lens – Standard angle with autofocus\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× PiCowbell Camera Breakout PCB (assembled)\n1× OV5640 Camera Sensor with 160-degree wide-angle lens\n2× 20-pin header strips (soldering required)\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":1106,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5947","mpn":"ADA5947","price":37.95,"compare_at_price":0.0,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
