## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN-29468:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. 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/SEN-29468:1.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)

## Description

The SparkFun Red Vision Camera Board - HM01B0 is a breakout board for the HM01B0 320 x 320 color camera module from Himax©. The Camera Board breaks out all the pins from the HM01B0's ribbon cable to three sets of 0.1"-spaced plated through-hole (PTH) headers for users to easily access. Sparkfun designed the Red Vision Camera Board - HM01B0 to work both as a standalone breakout board and also as a compliment to the [SparkFun Red Vision Touch Display for Pico](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-red-vision-touch-display-for-pico.html) to add live image processing as well as advanced features including object and contour detection among others to the [Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) Kit](https://www.sparkfun.com/experiential-robotics-platform-xrp-kit.html) using a SparkFun MicroPython port of the popular OpenCV image processing library. We've included both of these boards in the [SparkFun Red Vision Kit for XRP ](https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-pico-vision-kit-for-xrp.html)for those who'd like to get everything they need to quickly and easily add a camera and touchscreen display to their XRP Robot with no soldering required. **Note:** This standalone version of the Red Vision Camera Board - HM01B0 does *not* come with headers soldered to the board.

The HM01B0 camera module has a 320 x 320 pixel resolution that supports frame rates of up to 51FPS in full resolution (320x320) and up to 60FPS in windowed/QVGA (320x240) operation. The camera module also has a 2x2 monochrome binning mode that supports up to 120FPS if you're looking to maximize frame rate over resolution and color. The HM01B0 also has a motion detect feature tied to an interrupt output so you can program it to wake up your camera project whenever it senses motion. The video data interface communicates over a configurable 1, 4 or 8bit interface that features both video frame for synchronizing multiple cameras and line sync for creating a composite image from two cameras. The HM01B0 operates over a I2C serial interface.

The Red Vision Camera Board - HM01B0 offers three oscillator options for the camera module. It defaults to use the on-board 24MHz oscillator but also includes solder jumpers to switch to the HM01B0's internal 48MHz oscillator or to use an external clock input through the HM01B0's Clock (CLK) pin. Users should only select *one* of the three clock inputs to avoid undefined behavior or damage to the module. It also handles voltage regulation to the HM01B0 to drop the (expected) 3.3V supply voltage down to 2.8V.
