Usage

The OV5642 camera module has a parallel interface, it can’t be connected to Arduino or Raspberry pi directly. So the user needs to use our Arduino Camera Shield to connect to Arduino boards or use a USB camera shield to connect to Raspberry pi boards. If you want to connect the OV5642 directly to Arduino or Raspberry pi please check Arducam mini 5MP Plus camera module.
