Pinout

  • 3.3V / VIN

    Camera module power input. Adafruit states the power pin is marked 3.3V but feeds a 3-5V input regulator, so it can be powered with 3-5VDC.

    Type · powerVoltage · 3-5VDC input, pin marked 3.3V on module
  • TX

    3.3V TTL serial transmit from the camera module; Adafruit describes communication as three-wire TX, RX, GND.

    Type · signalVoltage · 3.3V TTL logic
  • RX

    3.3V TTL serial receive into the camera module; Adafruit describes communication as three-wire TX, RX, GND.
