Camera Click

Description: Camera click™ carries OV7670-VL2A, a low voltage CMOS image sensor, connected to an onboard FT900 MCU through a parallel camera interface. The FT900 in turn outputs the camera image to the target board microcontroller through the mikroBUS™ SPI interface (CS, SCK, MISO, MOSI). An additional RDY pin (INT) signals the camera’s status. Camera click™ combined with a 32-bit target board MCU will enable you to stream QCIF resolution video (176 x 144 px). Increased processing power and storage capabilities will get you better results (the maximum resolution of the OVO7670 sensor aboard camera click™ is VGA, 640x480). With 8-bit MCUs, camera click™ is best used for rendering static images, or for specific applications where a few frames per second are enough.
