Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5247:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description ## Description The **PiCam Module** is the mechanical solution to connect a 'standard' Raspberry Pi camera to a [Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 board](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=compute+module+4), without a big dev board. Perfect for making simple camera/vision boards. The [Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=pi+compute+module+4) **(not included!)** can be plugged into the bottom of the PiCam module. [The camera](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=raspberry+pi+camera) **(also not included!)** is connected to the PiCam module via FFC/FPC ribbon cable. If needed, the camera module can also be mounted directly on the PiCam module, which achieves maximum compactness. The existing mounting holes cover a variety of Raspberry camera modules. Mounting hardware is not included, [you could probably use Adafruit's M2.5 mounting kit if you don't have standoffs kicking around.](https://core-electronics.com.au/black-nylon-screw-and-stand-off-set-m2-5-thread.html) Any 15-pin camera should be compatible. Additionally, the PiCam module can also be used for programming the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. **Usage Warning:** [According to the manufacturer](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/picam_manual_eng_33546abedc2.pdf), when connecting the camera sensor, it is essential to ensure that the 15-pin FFC/FPC cable is connected in the correct orientation! Otherwise, everything - the camera module, the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4, and the PiCam module will be irreversibly damaged! ## Technical Details - For additional questions or support, please visit the ledato forums here - [Quickstart Guide - first project](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/PiCam_Setup__347361a1574.pdf) - [Technical manual](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/picam_manual_eng_33546abedc2.pdf) - **Software** - [rpiboot\_setup.exe](https://github.com/raspberrypi/documentation/blob/67a10b519991cdd5f9399456569df0f48f3b2ab3/hardware/computemodule/cm-emmc-flashing.md) (link to manual) - [rpiboot\_setup.exe](https://github.com/raspberrypi/usbboot/raw/master/win32/rpiboot_setup.exe) (file link) - [3D Files](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/picam_3d_print_step_files_5541231903a.zip) Product Dimensions: 56.1mm x 40.3mm x 10.2mm / 2.2" x 1.6" x 0.4" Product Weight: 8.8g / 0.3oz - [Manual](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/5247_picam_manual_eng_33546abedc2.pdf) - [Quick Start Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/5247_PiCam_Setup__347361a1574.pdf) ## Guides for this product - [How to Flash/Write Raspbian OS onto Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4)](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/raspberry-pi/how-to-flash-write-raspbian-os-onto-raspberry-pi-compute-module-4-cm4/) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/i/m/image_3610.jpg)
