Arduino beginners often face compatibility problems between UNO and MEGA board. The truth is that the UNO and MEGA board doesn’t compatible in some ways, for example, UNO SPI port pins are 10,11,12,13, and I2C port pins are A4, A5, while Mega board SPI port pins are 50,51,52,53, and I2C port pins are 20,21. Actually the UNO and MEGA boards made some changes from the R0 version to the R3 version to make the I2C interface compatible.

Q: Where can I order camera modules and ArduCAM shield? A: Please order from our distributor www.uctronics.com Q: Where can I find the source code and schematic of ArduCAM shield? Read more…
CMOS camera modules are widely used in mobile phones and web cameras, and the price is pretty low when in volume. Therefore it becomes the best choice for embedded applications. However there is barrier in both hardware and software when using camera modules and block the hobbyists off. That why ArduCAM is born. ArduCAM is an open source project for CMOS camera modules, which hide the complexity of capturing high speed high resolution image data stream and provide the source code configuration for camera modules. User can freely control the ArduCAM shield to accomplish their different tasks. The first release of ArduCAM shield target for Arduino and its compatible platforms like Maple, Chipkit. And we plan to move to more powerful platform like Raspberry PI, Beagle board or Pandaboard. (more…)
Improved Features: Provide two board options, ArduCAM-LF has both LCD and FIFO, ArduCAM-F only has FIFO ArduCAM-LF provide live video and real time snapshot Support both Arduino UNO and MEGA1280/2560 Read more…
In this demonstration we will illustrate how to transfer image wireless over Bluetooth with Arduino boards. To complete this demo we need an ArduCAM shield, a OV2640 Camera module, an Arduino UNO board or a Mega2560 R3 board, and a Bluetooth TTL transceiver module. (more…)
The ArduCAM shield has 6 general purpose IOs which can be set as input or output and greatly extend the power for the Arduino board which has limited IO resources. The structure of the IOs in the ArduCAM shield is the same as the one in the AVR chip, it has a direction register(DDR), a input register(PIN) and output register(PORT). In this demonstration, we will illustrate how to set the GPIOs in the ArduCAM shield as an input and use a PIR sensor triggering the shield to start a capture. (more…)

ArduChip is the core of the ArduCAM, which incoperates a Altera MAXII CPLD EPM240 as main processor. The main task of the ArduChip is do the real time DMA transfer between Camera module and the 3.2″ LCD and act as Arduino, Camera and LCD bus multiplexer. It also provides AVR like GPIO expansion, it can be set as input or output and resolve the problem of limited IO resources in Arduino board. The GPIOs can be used as event trigger in and trigger out.

This camera shield is replaced by newer Rev.C+ shield and ArduCAM-Mini board
ArduCAM is Arduino based open source camera platform which is well mated to Arduino boards. It now supports Arduino UNO board and we will add support Mega1280/2560 and new released Leonardo, Maple and Chipkit are also in planning.
ArduCAM now is ready, let’s see what it is.
These demo pictures are captured from MT9D111(SOC2010) camera module with USB our develop board, it is a illustration for the image quality of the sensor. Note that they are captured under the low Read more…
