An Arduino board with a camera opens up tonnes of possibilities. Today, we have compiled for you a list of camera modules compatible with Arduino which can easily be used in DIY projects. So check out this list of 10 best Arduino cameras that you can buy right now. Have a look!
Waveshare OV9655 Camera Module ($13.99)
OV9655 features a 1.3 MP camera. This is quite less for normal projects but can be readily used for projects that can use this pixel resolution. The camera can take photos as well as record videos.
Available here.
Apply power to your Arduino Uno board and open the Serial Monitor in the Arduino IDE. Arduino will output the analog value sent by the module to the serial monitor. If the value reaches the threshold setpoint set by VR1, the built-in LED of the Arduino will also light-up. Adjust the threshold by turning VR1.

No he utilizado el cam shield precisamente por eso porque no se como visualizar el video en la computadora; pero bueno quizas ya lo han hecho aunque no lo hayamos encontrado nosotros.
OV7670 Camera Module by Atomic Market ($10.99)
This camera module is also compatible with Arduino. It features 300 Kilo pixel lens specially designed for image acquisition and processing applications. It is based on transistor logic communication interface and hence, very convenient to connect with Arduino controller, able to read image and data via UART serial port, and then perform some image processing.

Is this the best Arduino cameras for you?
Available here.
Yosoo Camera Module for Arduino ($15.99)
Yosoo OV7670 does not run on any software, instead you are supposed to read pictures in the processor. Not good for those who want their processor to do other things along with reading images. Doesn’t come with an instruction booklet either but works well!
Available here.
Pixy Smart Vision Sensor Arduino Cameras ($69.00)
Pixy is a smart vision sensor. Compatible with Arduino as well as Raspberry Pi, Beaglebone black. Since it has smart vision, you can teach it to detect only those objects that you teach. It communicates via SPI, I2C, UART, USB or analog/digital output. Runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. This camera has poor color saturation and doesn’t work well under poor lighting conditions. Despite this, it works really well and updates objects really fast. The camera resolution is a little low but is perfect for DIY projects.
Available here.

This post is a tutorial on how to get started on programming your Arduino in Assembly or C/C++. In order to follow you need a Windows machine and a microcontroller programmer like the Atmel-ICE.
Download the Visual Studio based IDE Atmel Studio from atmel.com/tools/atmelstudio.aspx. Follow the installation instructions.
Start Atmel Studio and create a new project (Ctrl+Shift+N). You can choose either C/C++ or Assembler.
On the next screen you will be prompted to select your device. Make sure you select exactly the one you are using. For my Arduino Uno that is “ATmega328P” (“ATmega328” would not work).
After selecting your device the code editor appears. The following two snippets implement the Arduino Blink Example in both C and Assembly. The output pin is the Arduino pin D13, which is the fifth pin in the PORTB register. The delay between on and off is 1000ms.
Blink in C
The well-known Arduino Blink sketch implementation in plain C. Note that functions like digitalWrite
or delay
do not exist. Port manipulation and external header files need to be used instead. The microcontroller’s clock frequency (here $f=16text{MHz}$) needs to be defined as well.
Blink in Assembly
Even more complicated: The Blink-sketch in Assembly. While being hard to read without the comments, this very low-level and probably the coolest version.
While the main program is relatively easy to understand, it’s probably not obvious, how the delay_1000ms
function works (thanks to Ido Gendel for investigating on that). On a $16text{ MHz}$ clock the task of a one-second-delay-function is essentially to keep the CPU busy for 16 million clock cycles.
- The first three
ldi
(“Loads an 8-bit constant directly to register 16 to 31.“) instructions take three cycles in total. subi
takes one cycle as well and “subtracts a register and a constant, and places the result in the destination register Rd.” The constant is0x01
in the snippet and the execution time is once again one clock cycle.- Each of the following two
sbci
instructions “subtracts a constant from a register and subtracts with the C Flag, and places the result in the destination register Rd“. The constant is0x00
in both cases so the only thing that is subtracted is the C Flag. The C Flag however is only set, if the previous subtraction has resulted in an underflow ($0-1rightarrow255$). - Finally, the
brne
instruction “[…] tests the Zero Flag (Z) and branches relatively to PC if Z is cleared.” This takes two cycles if it branches, otherwise one.
When going through the statements step by step that leads to a total number of $n$ clock cycles for the subroutine body: $$begin{align}n=&3+256cdot212cdot5+256cdot256cdot48cdot5-1=&16,000,002,.end{align}$$
To actually see an LED blink, you have to connect your Arduino to a power supply and to your programmer. Connect the programmer to your PC.
Make sure the connection plug is facing into the right direction. If not it won’t cause any damage but you will encounter an error during the upload.
Run
Now hit the Run button in Atmel Studio (hotkey F5). The IDE will prompt you to select a programmer (“Please select a connected tool and interface and try again.”).
Camera Arduino Programme
(1) Select your programmer (e.g. “Atmel-ICE”) and the (2) ISP interface. Also make sure you (3) uncheck “Preserve EEPROM” in the programming settings section. Now you should be able to upload your code (hit F5 again).
The Arduino bootloader needs to be flashed back onto the Arduino, before it can be used in combination with the Arduino IDE again. Starting Electronics has a post that explains how this can be done: Burning the Bootloader to an Arduino Uno using Atmel Studio
Troubleshooting
See Atmel-ICE User Guide and AVRISP MkII Troubleshooting if the following sections do not help.
Failed to set-up tool (no context id returned)
Open the Device Pack Manager (Tools > Device Pack Manager) and install all updates.
Failed to launch program
Error: Failed to start programming session before chip erase with eeprom preserve:Failed to enter programming mode. ispEnterProgMode: Error status received: Got 0xc0, expected 0x00 (Command has failed to execute on the tool)
This could be a connection issue (e.g. the ISP plug is connected the wrong way around). It could also be that your microcontroller is not supplied with power.
Unable to start debug session
“Atmel Studio was unable to start your debug session.
Please verify device selection, interface settings, target power and connections to the target device. Look in the details section for more information.”
In order to write your own, more complex C/C++ or Assembly programs you are definitely going to need your microcontroller’s data sheet at hand:
Very important for Assembly projects is also the AVR Instruction Set Manual.

Also note that you can view the generated assembly code after compiling a C/C++ project. That can be a good resource for improving assembly skills or for deeply understanding what’s going on behind the scenes. In order to look into the assembly code open the “Solution Explorer”, expand “Output Files”, and open the “.lss” file.
