Adafruit OV5640 Camera Breakout - 120 Degree Lens with Autofocus

Embrace the future of camera integration with the Adafruit OV5640 Camera Breakout. Equipped with a 5 Megapixel sensor, 120-degree fisheye lens, and an autofocus motor, it's perfectly engineered for microcontrollers like the RP2040 or ESP32-Sx series. Enhance your projects with this compact yet powerful tool that now makes interfacing a breeze.

Features include a standard 2x9 header, duplicated for easy breadboard or perfboard use. Enjoy selectable external or internal 24MHz "XCLK" clock generation, offering a stable clock signal, even if your microcontroller lacks one. Heat sinking around the camera area ensures effective thermal transfer, crucial for continuous encoding.

Switchable VMotor 3.3V power jumper facilitates autofocus functionality. To utilize autofocus, load firmware over I2C and short the VM jumper to power DATA1. The camera employs I2C commands for focusing, operating like any other OV5640 sensor when not autofocusing.
