How to add camera to Thingy91, HELP!!!

[Parishad]

I am doing a project for smart fruit fly trap/ detection with Thingy91 and the camera to take a picture periodically. There are no nrf9160 I/Os left on the Thingy 91 board. Could you please explain me how to add one or is it not possible to do it?

Hi Helsing.

I am looking at Arducam 

Camera module 

(OV5642).

Thank you.

Do you have any link to the exact module, or any documentation describing the voltages of the IOs?

Is ArduCAM-Mini-5MP-Plus OV5642 Camera Module the module you are looking at? The documentation states "All IO ports are 5V/3.3V tolerant" which means you will need a voltage translator.

I also found another version of module with the same image sensor that is listed with "I/O: 1.7 ~ 3.0V" under Key Specifications, however, this module is likely not interesting as it has a parallel interface. https://www.arducam.com/new-5mp-ov5642-camera-module-support-jpeg-output/

Did you check with ArduCam regarding the IO-voltage range?

Thank you Helsing. I am also looking at Arducam Mega 5MP SPI Camera.Yes looks like both of them has 3.3/5 V I/Os operation. So needs to work on the level shifter.
