Camera interface for nRF52840

[Batuhan]

Hello,

I would like to take a photo and send it via Zigbee to another on nRF52840. Just a single image that is around 600x480 sizes. What interfaces can I use for that purpose? There is no MIPI CSI-2 or DVP. Time delay and colors are not priorities.

Additionally, could you recommend any camera module for an embedded system?

Thank you.

The product page gives you a quick vies of the interfaces available:

The Product Specification gives you full details:

There is no specific camera interface.

At the end of the day, a photo is just data - so you can use any interface that can transfer data.

Maybe you can bit-bang a camera interface?

I suggest you look at what people use with Arduinos - as they are typically in the same situation with no specific camera interface.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will work on them.

Does nRF52840 support CMOS parallel with 10 pins? I found some image sensors which use that interface.

Again, the Product Specification gives you full details of what the chip does - you'll have to see how that could map onto this "CMOS parallel with 10 pins" requirement.
