OV7725 image sensor

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Overload Io Pins: Avoid overloading the I/O pins beyond their specified limits to prevent damage.,
  • Disregard Power Requirements: Do not use power sources that do not comply with the 5V operating voltage to avoid damaging the device.

Dos

  • Use Micropython: Program the OpenMV Cam using MicroPython for easier handling of complex outputs from machine vision algorithms.,
  • Attach Specialized Lenses: Attach specialized lenses as needed for different applications by buying and attaching them to the standard M12 lens mount.,
  • Utilize Io Pins: Make use of the I/O pins for triggering actions like taking pictures or executing algorithms based on external events.
Limits
