I am interested in purchasing the Arducam AR0134 Monochrome camera board and the USB2 shield. On the website it doesn’t say that the 30-pin flex cable needed to connect these two items is included (on either part’s listing). I can’t find the flex cable for sale separately either. Please could someone confirm whether the flex cable is included or not. The link to the parts are:
Thanks

Hello @caracol_uk,
Welcome to RobotShop community.
The camera comes with a short flex cable which is used to connect it to the shield as shown in the following pictures:
If you need a longer flex cable you can order this one:
Let us know if you need further assistance.
Sincerely,
Thanks Ebram! That’s very helpful.
You are welcome.
Have a good day, stay safe.
I do have one further query about the AR0134 board. I haven’t been able to find the maximum exposure time that can be configured if used with the USB2 version D board. I need to make sure that exposures of 10s are possible, and possibly up to 30s. Would this be possible?
Thanks
Simon
Hello @caracol_uk,
Please check page 8 of the datasheet to see how you can adjust the exposure time:
Sincerely,
Thanks Ebram,
I did find that datasheet and others which describe how to set the exposure length. I also found this example of how to set the exposure time:
However, it doesn’t make it clear what the maximum exposure time is for the sensor. As far as I can tell the coarse_integration_time value could be set as high as possible to 0xFFFF which would appear to offer a maximum exposure time of 3.2s. Unless I’m wrong (perhaps the row time can be increased ?) then that would be too short for my purposes.
Thanks
Simon
In this case, it’s best to confirm this information from the manufacturer directly:
