UnitV-OV7740

SKU:U078-C

Description

UnitV-OV7740 is a powerful AI vision processing camera unit equipped with the Kendryte K210 chip, integrating a dual-core 64-bit RISC-V CPU and an advanced neural network processor edge computing system-on-chip.

This camera is compact and easy to embed into various devices, offering excellent machine vision processing capabilities. It supports multiple image recognition functions, such as real-time acquisition of the size, coordinates, and type of detected targets, and can perform convolutional neural network calculations even in low-power states, providing users with a zero-threshold machine vision embedded solution.

In terms of the development environment, it supports MicroPython, making the program code more concise during project development. The OV7740 image sensor it carries makes it an ideal choice for machine vision projects.

From a hardware configuration perspective, the device features two programmable buttons, a front-facing RGB LED indicator for status display, and a bottom-mounted HY2.0 x 4P interface and a TYPE-C interface for easy connection to the main control device. Additionally, it supports TF card expansion for memory, facilitating the use of relevant materials and model files.
