The RP2040 and ESP32-Sx series of chips, for example, have enough pins to communicate with the 8-bit data output, DMA to quickly grab a frame, and the necessary RAM to buffer a raw snapshot. Now all we need is a nice camera module to make interfacing easy!\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis Adafruit OV5640 Camera Breakout with 160 Degree Lens has a nice quality OV5640 camera with a 5 Megapixel sensor element, 160-degree very-wide angle fish-eye lens, and all the support circuitry you need. This version has a 160-degree focal angle for a very wide\/distorted fisheye effect that's great for security systems or watching a big swath of the living room or roadway. We looked at existing camera modules and while this breakout board is backwards compatible, we made some improvements:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eStandard 2 x 9 header if you want it, but also a duplicated header strip 0.3\" apart so you can plug it into a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/solderless-breadboards\"\u003ebreadboard\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/prototyping-pcbs-and-perfboard\"\u003eperfboard\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSelectable external or internal 24MHz \"XCLK\" clock generation - save one GPIO pin, or just have a nice stable 24 MHz signal even if your microcontroller can't generate it for you.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHeat-sinking camera area with exposed ground pad, with lots of vias for good thermal transfer.
