OV7670 VGA Camera Module

The OV7670 VGA Camera Module is a low-cost image sensor board built around the OmniVision OV7670 chip. It captures VGA images at up to 640 × 480 pixels, is configured over an SCCB (I2C-compatible) bus and sends image data through an 8-bit parallel port, which makes it a popular choice for learning how cameras work with microcontrollers.

What's in the Box

• 1 × OV7670 VGA camera module

Tip: Power the module from 3.3 V and use level shifting or resistor dividers on its inputs when connecting it to a 5 V Arduino. Versions without a FIFO buffer need an external clock on XCLK and a fast microcontroller to keep up with the data, so an ESP32 or STM32 is often easier than an Uno.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
