ArduCAM-Mini-5MP-Plus Camera User Guide 1 Introduction ArduCAM-Mini-5MP-Plus(OV5642) is performance improved version compared to its predecessor ArduCAM-M-5MP. It is a general purpose high definition 5MP SPI camera, which reduce the complexity of the camera control interface. It integrates 5MP CMOS image sensor OV5642, and provides miniature size, as well as the easy to use hardware interface and open source code library.

ArduCAM-Mini-5MP-Plus Camera User Guide 6 Block Diagram Figure 2 shows the block diagram of ArduCAM mini shield which is composed by lens, image sensor and an ArduChip. The image sensor is 5MP CMOS OV5642 from Omnivision. The ArduChip uses ArduCAM proprietary third generation camera controller technology which handles the complex camera, memory and user interface hardware timing and provides a user friendly SPI interface.
