The Raspberry Pi Foundation, which launched its first $25 single-board computer to the public in 2012, custom-designed the camera unit to work as seamlessly as possible with its single-board computer. The fixed focus lens and Omnivision 5657 sensor can capture 5 megapixel still images and up to 30 frames per second.
Though the camera was designed specifically for the Raspberry Pi computer, it?s not quite plug-and-play. The operating system requires system and firmware updates, along with some tweaks to the boot configuration file, to properly recognize and control the camera. After that, it?s up to users to figure out what to do with the lightweight and cheap camera; some already have plans for motion-detection and machine-vision systems.
Like the Pi computer, the camera costs $25 and is distributed by Element14. A Raspberry Pi photo competition opens on the day of the launch, May 14.
