About this item

The Arducam EK043 is a 5MP Camera Evaluation Kit designed for rapid development and prototyping of embedded vision applications using the ESP32 microcontroller. This kit features the Arducam Mega DVP camera module based on the OV5642 5MP CMOS sensor, known for its high-quality image output and flexibility in embedded systems. With native support for JPEG, YUV, and RAW formats, the EK043 is well-suited for image processing, streaming, and storag e tasks on memory-constrained microcontrollers. Included in the kit is a dedicated ESP32 board, pre-configured to communicate with the camera module over an optimized parallel DVP (Digital Video Port) interface. This ensures smooth image capture with low latency and efficient data handling, making it ideal for IoT, smart monitoring, AI at the edge, and machine vision projects. The evaluation kit comes with ready-to-use firmware, Arduino IDE support, and detailed documentation to help developers get started quickly. It provides a plug-and-play experience for engineers and hobbyists looking to build camera-based applications without needing external memory modules or complex drivers. Compact, efficient, and user-friendly, the Arducam EK043 delivers a powerful platform for bringing high-resolution imaging into microcontroller-based projects.
