QVGA Camera Module

A QVGA camera module with ultra-low power consumption, configurable 1-bit video data serial interface with video frame and line sync, and the monochrome sensor makes image processing an easy part for most machine vision applications.

0.96 inch LCD

The small TFT display at the back of Pico4ML is a 160×80 LCD, it’s connected to the board through the SPI interface, you can do a live preview of the camera, or display the results of any of the your ML models in real-time.

Onboard Microphone & IMU

The audio chip on the Pico4ML is capable of directly outputting PDM (Pulse-density modulation) signals, this integration allows the RP2040 to receive audio input, and it’s great for all the speech/voice recognition models. Motion tracking is also a built-in feature, the 2.5 mW low-power 9-axis IMU we used is just another ideal match for the RP2040 chip.

Open Source

Arducam Pico4ML is completely open-source, all its codes, design files, and schematics will be made available for anyone to use, rebuild or modify.
