Is the Arducam CMOS MT9J001 Camera Module compatible with the ArduCAM USB 3.0 Camera Shield?
I am interested in the camera module, but I am not super sure how to connect and control this camera. My thought is that the USB shield would be an easy way, just control the camera over USB. Is the camera compatible with the shield? How would I go about connecting it? Also, what would be other ways to connect to the camera module?
Hello @skwhite16 and welcome to the RobotShop forum,
Is the Arducam CMOS MT9J001 Camera Module compatible with the ArduCAM USB 3.0 Camera Shield?
Here’s a list of the camera modules supported by this shield:
As you can see, the MT9J001 is mentioned so the Arducam CMOS MT9J001 1/2.3" 10MP Monochrome Camera Module is compatible.
How do you plan to use this camera? If you are going to be using it with a Windows (XP/7/10) machine then the ArduCAM USB 3.0 Camera Shield is a nice solution. You simply need to connect the camera with the included USB3.0 Cable and install the driver in your machine, you can find more information about this in the user manual (page 5).
