UnitV-OV2640

SKU:U078

Description

UnitV-OV2640 is an AI vision processing camera unit equipped with the Kendryte K210, integrating a dual-core 64-bit RISC-V CPU and an advanced neural network processor edge computing system-on-chip. The UnitV-OV2640 AI camera is very compact, making it suitable for embedding into various devices. It has machine vision processing capabilities, supports multiple image recognition functions (such as real-time acquisition of the size and coordinates of detected objects, and real-time acquisition of the types of detected objects), and can perform convolutional neural network calculations under low power consumption. Therefore, UnitV-OV2640 is an excellent zero-threshold machine vision embedded solution. It supports the MicroPython development environment, making your project development code more concise. Equipped with the OV2640 2-megapixel image sensor, it is an ideal choice for machine vision projects. The body features two programmable buttons and a front-facing RGB LED indicator for easy status display. The bottom provides a HY2.0-4P compatible interface and a TYPE-C interface for connecting to the main control device. It supports TF card expansion for easier access to related materials and model files.
