Product description: 2.3 MPx AR0234 Color Global Shutter camera + USB 2.0 adapter - for Raspberry Pi / Nvidia Jetson - ArduCam EK031
The ArduCam camera module is a versatile kit designed for easy integration with Raspberry Pi , Nvidia Jetson or Odroid , enabling professional image analysis and prototyping solutions. The 2.3 MPx camera with an AR0234 sensor is equipped with a color Global Shutter , which allows obtaining clear images of fast-moving objects without the distortions typical of a rolling shutter. The set is based on a USB 2.0 interface, which allows cooperation with a wide range of devices and ensures high-throughput data transmission thanks to a 16 MB buffer . The design of this camera eliminates the need for additional adapters MIPI and facilitates operation via SDK and API, supporting among others Python and C++ languages.
There is a user guide on the manufacturer's website that makes it easier to get started with the module.
