Arducam

Among all the Raspberry Pi and Arduino boards I am spending my days with, my favorite is the Raspberry Pi Pico, a small yet powerful microcontroller that can be programmed not only in C/C++ via the Arduino IDE, but also in MicroPython and CircuitPython, two competing Python variants for microcontrollers. Unlike the other Raspberry Pi models, the Pico does not have a dedicated camera interface, but it can use cameras that communicate over an SPI interface,1 such as the Arducam Mini 5MP Plus.
