ARDUCAM SPI Cameras

In 2012, the Arducam team released the world's first high-resolution SPI camera solution for Arduino also fills the gaps in the Arduino community. This SPI camera is a universal solution It is not limited to the Arduino platform, but can also be used on any other hardware platform that has an SPI and I2C interface. Due to the nature of the SPI bus, the nature of SPI cameras is extended to the maximum. This also allows the user to connect multiple cameras to a single microcontroller and still take photos simultaneously.

ArduCAM-2MP-Plus is an optimised version of the ArduCAM Shield Rev.C and is a high resolution 2MP SPI camera that reduces the complexity of the camera control interface. It integrates the 2MP CMOS image sensor OV2640 and offers a miniature size as well as an easy-to-use hardware interface and an open source code library. The ArduCAM mini can be used in all platforms such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Maple, Chipkit, Beaglebone black, as long as they have SPI and I2C interface and combine well with standard Arduino boards.

The ArduCAM mini not only offers the possibility to add a camera interface, which is not available in some low-cost microcontrollers, but also offers the possibility to add multiple cameras to a single microcontroller.
