## Description

This 5M pixel camera module is capable of capturing 2592 x 1944 active array video and images and connects directly to your pcDuino V3. Connect the included ribbon cable to the CSI (Camera Serial Interface) port on your pcDuino, boot it up, and you are good to go!

The real strength of this camera module comes from the OV5640 image sensor. The OV5640 is a high quality CMOS image sensor, for mobile phone camera and digital camera applications. The OV5640 incorporates a 2592 x 1944 active array, on-chip 10-bit ADC, and image signal processor. It outputs various data formats, such as RAW RGB, RGB565/555/444, CCIR656, YUV422/420, YCbCr422, and compression.

Note: This module is only capable of taking pictures and video, not sound.
