This camera shield is replaced by newer Rev.C+ shield and ArduCAM-Mini board.

With the great success of ArduCAM shield Rev.B, we received hundreds of comments and feedbacks from ArduCAM users. The ArduCAM team now released a more powerful ArduCAM shield Rev.C with past few months’ hard work. The new features list as follows:

  • Support camera modules: OV7660 OV7670 OV7675 OV7725 OV2640 OV3640 OV5642 MT9D111
  • Incorporating standard SPI slave interface
  • Reduced IOs consumption, only 4 IOs for SPI, 2 IOs for I2C and 1 IO for SD are required
  • All IOs are 5V and 3.3V tolerant
  • Support all Arduino families including Arduino DUE
  • Can be easily ported to any platforms which have SPI port like Raspberry Pi, BeagleBoard, BeagleBone, pcDuino and etc
  • Support 1080p still JPEG image capture
  • Provide low power mode, reduce power consumption and prolong battery life
  • Well mate with Arudino UNO R3, MEGA2560 R3, Leonardo R3 and DUE boards

SPI interface which is widely used in most micro-controllers and peripherals sensors. SPI is a synchronous serial data protocol used by microcontrollers for communicating with one or more peripheral devices quickly over short distances. With the advantage of SPI bus, the ArduCAM shield Rev.C reduced the IO consumption, achieve higher bus speed than the Rev.B. By using Arduino standard SPI and I2C pin out, the Rev.C can well mate with Arduino mainstream boards like UNO R3, Mega2560 R3 and DUE etc. A brief comparison between Rev.C and Rev.B :

ArduCAM shield Rev.C not only work with Arduino boards, it now can be ported to any platform easily because it use standard SPI bus. We now are busy with Raspberry Pi porting. ArduCAM shield Rev.C also provide low power feature for battery powered device. When it is in idle, user can shut down the LCD back light OFF and disable FIFO and etc to reduce power consumption, and prolong battery.
