This camera module board is based on the OV5640 5MP image sensor and is built for adding image capture to embedded projects. It includes the support circuitry needed to interface the sensor, giving you a compact board for experimenting with higher-resolution camera input.

The module is suitable for use with capable 32-bit microcontrollers, including the Raspberry Pi RP line of microcontrollers and Espressif ESP32 wireless modules. Control is handled over an SCCB interface that is I2C compatible, with image data available via an 8-bit DVP interface.

It supports a range of image control, image quality and output format options, including scaling, panning, windowing, YUV, RGB, RAW RGB and compressed data formats.

Features:

  • Camera Module board based on the OV5640 5MP sensor.
  • This camera has all the support circuitry needed to interface with it and a full set of features and functions.

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

ESP32
ESP32 is a family of microcontroller modules with built-in wireless features such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Knowing this product uses an ESP32-based module helps explain how it provides wireless serial communication and firmware update features.
I2C
I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
OV5640
A specific camera sensor chip that captures still images or video data for a microcontroller or processor. The exact sensor matters because code examples, wiring, resolution, autofocus support and data format depend on the chip model.
RGB
Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
