Time of Flight Camera for Raspberry Pi
This is a special Time of Flight camera module from Arducam, featuring a MIPI-CSI 2 connection and offering up to 4-meter measuring range with sub-2cm precision, designed and optimized exclusively for Raspberry Pi & Nvidia Jetson boards.
As the camera requires a separate power supply from your GPIO pins (using the included cable), you’ll need to have header pins soldered to your Raspberry Pi’s GPIO section.
The package now includes two different FPC cables for use with different boards, including Pi 5 and Zero!
Note: At least Raspberry Pi OS Bullseye is required for this camera (04/04/2022 or later releases), a fresh install is highly recommended.
Features
- Real-time point cloud and depth map
- Resolution: 240×180@30fps on RPI4/CM4
- Up to 4M measuring distance
- Onboard 940nm laser for both indoor & outdoor uses, no external light source needed.
- V4L2-based video kernel device
- C/C++/Python SDK for userland depth map output and example source code
- ROS ready.
- 38 x 38mm board size
