Hardware Installation
There are two different camera interface provided on the USB camera shield, but only one camera interface can be used at a time.
MIPI Camera Interface
The MIPI camera interface is used for the 22 pin MIPI camera breakout board. Visit the Featured Camera Modules Supported chapter to see the full list.
