Introduction
ArduCAM-M-5MP is optimized version of ArduCAM shield Rev.C, and is a high definition
5MP SPI camera, which reduce the complexity of the camera control interface. It integrates 5MP
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. ArduCAM mini not only offers the
capability to add a camera interface which doesn’t have in some low cost microcontrollers, but
also provides the capability to add multiple cameras to a single microcontroller.
