Arducam IMX219 Auto Focus Camera Module, drop-in replacement for Raspberry Pi V2 and NVIDIA Jetson Nano Camera
- Native to Raspberry Pi: You don’t need to install additional driver for the camera
- Programmable Autofocus: Software controll, focus closer. See Arducam Github for more details
- Control Precisely: You can use “UP” and “Down” on your keyboard to adjust the focus manually
Overview
This Arducam IMX219 fisheye lens camera module is designed mainly for Raspberry Pi V2 camera board and replace the default standard IMX219 camera module with the auto focus one. It can be used for drone, robot, action camera and 3D scanning applications.
The highlight of this camera is that the lens focus is programmable by software, and Arducam team provide an opensource code to implement software auto-focus function for Jetson Nano.
