Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this camera shield with a 5 V Arduino?

Yes. All I/O ports are 5 V tolerant, so you can directly connect it to 5 V logic on Arduino Uno, Mega, or similar boards without additional level shifters.

What image formats and resolutions does the OV2640 support?

The OV2640 sensor captures JPEG-compressed images at up to 2 MP (1600×1200). It also supports lower modes like VGA (640×480) and QVGA (320×240) for higher frame rates.

Is there sample code available for quick setup?

Yes. Zbotic provides the official ArduCAM open-source library with Arduino example sketches that demonstrate SPI initialization, image capture, and saving or streaming the JPEG output.
