USB data capture

Hello Support Team,

I have a question regarding USB data capture for Thingy91.

I'm new to the thingy91 and also Nordic development kit. Is it possible for me to connect a usb camera to thingy91 module and capture data in the cpu or stream directly over BT or LTE-M?

Do you have an application note for this kind of an example?

Thanks,

Mahi

  • Hi,

     

    None of our nRF devices have a USB host. nRF52840/833 has a usb device peripheral, and can be connected to a USB host (typically a PC).

    LTE Cat M1 can do less than Bluetooth LE throughput wise, so streaming video is very likely not going to work as you intend it to.

     

    Here's a project that uses a SPI based camera to send images using the nRF52840-DK or nRF52-DK that could be of interest to you:

    Kind regards,
