ArduCAM F Shield Rev V2

Description

ArduCAM F Shield Rev V2:

The ArduCAM F Shield Rev V2 (B0051) is a universal camera control board for Arduino-compatible system boards. It hides the complex nature of the camera and provides the easy to use camera control interface as well as the ready to use software source code library and demo code. The shield supports a variety of camera modules from 0.3 MP to 5.0 MP with different format like RAW, RGB, YUV, JPEG. It connects easily to standard Arduino boards. The ArduCAM LF Shield Rev V2 version features a 3.2″ TFT LCD mounted to the back of the PCB. Optionally, an OV2640 2.0 MP Camera Board w/ Stock Lens may be purchased bundled with this shield.

The ArduCAM F Shield Rev V2 is the latest revision of ArduCAM shields, it offers the improved performance and enhanced functions than the previous revisions. It can capture maximum 5.0 MP JPEG images, which makes it an ideal solution for IoT applications.

The ArduCAM F Shield Rev V2 is designed for, but not limited to Arduino. It can be used in any platform, such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Maple, chipKIT, BeagleBone Black, as long as they have the SPI and I2C interface. The user can port the current Arduino library to other platforms with less effort.
