Introduction
Since the old multi-camera adapter board doesn’t work with Raspberry Pi 8MP IMX219 pi camera due to the camera driver issue. Now Arducam team designed upgrade V2.1 multi-camera adapter board for both 5MP and 8MP pi cameras. Consider that the high speed CSI camera MIPI signal integrity is sensitive to long cable connection, the new adapter board can only connect maximum 4 cameras to a single pi board. Because it covers the most of the use cases like 360 degree view photography and surveillance, and add more cameras will degrade the performance of the cameras. Like always please note that Raspberry Pi multi camera adapter board is nascent product that may have some stability issues and limitations because of the cable’s signal integrity and RPi’s closed source video core libraries, so use it on your own risk.
Application
- IoT cameras
- Robot cameras
- Wildlife cameras
- 3D scanner
- 360 view surveillance camera
Features
- Accommodate 4 Raspberry Pi cameras on an multi camera adapter board
- Take still photos in sequence (not at the same time)
- Display real time video in lower frame rate
- 3 GPIOs required for multiplexing on the adapter board
- All camera ports are FFC (flexible flat cable) connectors
- Support 5MP OV5647 and 8MP IMX219 pi cameras
- Support Raspberry Pi A/B/B+ and Pi 2, Pi3 B, Pi3B+
