What is it?

Arducam HM0360 is a low cost camera module built specifically for Raspberry Pi Pico and all available RP2040 dev boards.

• Based on Himax HM0360-MWA.
• 640x480, Monochrome, up to VGA @ 60FPS max.
• Designed for Always on Serivce Applications.
• Configurable 1-bit video data serial interface with video frame and line sync.
• Ultra-low power consumption, standby < 140uW, VGA < 19.6mW.
• Motion detection wakeup interrupt output.

What makes it special?

• Ultra Low Power, high sensitivity, low noise VGA sensor.
• Operates 7.8mA VGA 60 FPS down to 240µA in monitor mode.
• Automatic wake and sleep operation with programmable event interrupt to wake host processor.
• On chip high precision oscillator, auto exposure / gain, ambient light sensor and zone detection.
• Metered exposure provides well exposed first frame and after extended sleep (blanking) period.
• External frame synch and stereo camera support.
• Flexible binning, subsampling and region of interest.
• Embedded line provides metadata frame, AE statistics, zone trigger and other interrupt event information.
• On-chip high precision oscillator and LDO.
• 1-lane MIPI CSI2 and 8-bit parallel/serial data format that supports 1-bit, 4-bit and 8-bit protocol.
• I2C 2-wrie serial interface supporting burst operation for fast register access.
• < 13 mm2 CSP sensor package option.
• High CRA for low profile module design.
