QUICK START GUIDE
SPI Camera On
Raspberry Pi Pico
(Arducam Mini 2MP)
INTRODUCTION
As an alternave to Arduino, Raspberry Pi Pico lacks pro-
cessing power, memory, and a CSI interface, which makes
it impossible for Pico to work with the ocial or any MIPI
CSI-2 camera modules. Thankfully, Pico has a wide range of
exible I/O opons includes SPI, which enables the Ar-
ducam SPI camera to work with Pico.
Now, the Arducam team has solved the compability of
our SPI camera with Raspberry Pi Pico. Get the camera
working for the Person Detecon demo!
