CMOS image sensor OV5642, and provides miniature size, as well as the easy to use hardware interface and open source code library. The ArduCAM mini can be used in any platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Maple, Chipkit, Beaglebone black, as long as they have SPI and I2C interface and can be well mated with standard Arduino boards.
Note: OV5642 sensor consumes too much current when working in full power, onboard LDOs can be very hot due to the high voltage drop. Recommend to enter low power mode after capture, or use lower input power voltage. 5 Pin Definition Table 1 ArduCAM-M-5MP Pin Definition Pin No. PIN NAME TYPE...
Single capture mode is the default capture mode of the camera. After issuing a capture command via SPI port, the ArduCAM will wait for a new frame and buffer the one entire image data to the frame buffer, and then assert the completion flag bit in the register. User only needs to poll the flag bit from the register to check out if the capture is done.
Low Power Mode Some battery power device need save power when in the idle status, the ArduCAM offers the low power mode to reduce power consumption, by shutdown the sensor and memory circuits.
