The OpenMV Cam, available at Adafruit, is a powerful microcontroller board coupled to a camera that is programmable via MicroPython. It allows for object recognition, face detection, and more, and all those features are embedded, meaning you don’t need to fiddle with them – you can just access the data that the OpenMV Cam sends out.
At its core is an STM32H743VI Arm Cortex-M7 processor running at 480MHz with 1MB of RAM and 2MB of flash. You also get a full speed connection to your computer, a microSD card slot, RGB LED, access to an SPI and I2C bus, 12-bit ADC and a 12-bit DAC, and even three I/O pins for servo control. It’s a great camera with a lot of on-board power.
They rate the camera 8 out of 10, saying “A powerful and smart camera module.”
