Raspberry Pi since its dispatch was
until today stayed with its official camera extra, a 5-megapixel OmniVision
OV5647 module. In any case, the organization has now presented the decision of
two new camera modules (obvious light or infrared) taking into consideration
the Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor. The new camera modules have the same cost
as the first 5-megapixel offering, at $25
Eden Upton, the Raspberry Pi author
on Monday said in a blog entry that, the OmniVision OV5647 sensor was
end-of-lifed toward the end of 2014 and the vast stockpile it had purchased was
totally exhausted. "Luckily, we'd effectively hit up discussion with
Sony's picture sensor division, thus just under the wire we're ready to declare
the quick accessibility of both unmistakable light (seen above) and infrared
cameras (seen beneath) in view of the Sony IMX219 8-megapixel sensor, at the
same low cost of $25."
The two
cameras are available from RS Components and Element 14 sites and will achieve
different retailers soon.
TL;DR
• Raspberry
Pi Foundation disclosed the Sony IMX219 camera extra.
• The
new camera modules are evaluated at $25, same as the old module.
• The
OmniVision OV5647 sensor was end-of-lifed toward the end of 2014.
For those uninformed, the Sony
IMX219 is a settled center sensor and can shoot pictures in 3280x2464
determination, record recordings in full-HD at 30fps. According to Upton, the
sensor's picture quality, shading devotion, and low-light execution is
effortlessly taken care of by the Raspberry Pi's Videocore IV GPU.
The Raspberry Pi establishment in
February this year propelled the third form of its famous low-control Raspberry
Pi advancement stage, the Raspberry Pi 3. The stage was valued at $35, which is
the same cost for the Raspberry Pi 2 scaled down PC disclosed a year ago. In
any case, not at all like the Raspberry Pi 2 miniature includes a much demand
highlight - coordinated Wi-Fi and in addition Bluetooth network.
A portion
of the highlights of the Raspberry Pi 3 is a 1.2GHz quad-center ARM Cortex-A53
processor which the organization says has 10x execution of the Raspberry Pi 1.
It likewise highlights 802.11n remote LAN and Bluetooth 4.1.
