Zest_Sensor_Camera

Mbed

The Zest_Sensor_Camera is an extension development board for 6TRON, integrating an TD next TD5640-HBLB camera module based on OmniVision OV5640 sensor. It offers a 5 megapixels camera suitable for streaming video or snapping static images for security cameras or other applications that do not require large video files.

The OV5640 sensor can capture full-frames, sub-sampled, windowed or arbitrarily scaled 8-10 bits images in various formats (VGA, QVGA, CIF, QCIF and QQVGA). It includes an embedded microcontroller with programmable GPIO and can be configured through a Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB/I²C) interface. The sensor supports JPEG compression with frame rates up to 30 fps.

The board also includes two solutions of single LED flashes and an analog light sensor. It supports the Digital Video Port (DVP) standard that is fully compatible with ST DCMI parallel port interface.

This board can be used for security cameras, video streaming, and other applications requiring a camera module.
