Frequently Asked Questions

Which Arduino boards are compatible with this camera module?

The OV5642 Mini Module supports most 5V/3.3V Arduino boards such as Uno, Mega, Nano and Pro Mini via SPI interface. Ensure the board has enough flash to load the Arducam library.

Can I capture RAW images with this shield?

Yes. In addition to compressed JPEG snapshots, the OV5642 sensor can output full-resolution RAW frames for advanced post-processing workflows.

How long of a video clip can I record?

The module can record short movie clips; duration depends on your microcontroller’s buffer and SD card write speed. Typical clips of a few seconds are easily achievable on standard Arduino setups.
