ATOMS3R Camera Kit M12: A Powerful ESP32-Based 3MP Camera with 9-Axis Motion Tracking for IoT and Beyond

The ATOMS3R Camera Kit M12 is a compact, programmable IoT controller equipped with a 3-megapixel OV3660 camera for high-resolution image capture. Designed for IoT applications, motion detection, wearables, and educational development, this small form factor module is ideal for a wide range of embedded projects.

Core Features:

Processor: Powered by the ESP32-S3-PICO-1-N8R8, the kit features an ESP32-S3 SoC with a dual-core 32-bit Xtensa LX7 microprocessor running at up to 240 MHz. The module also includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5, 8MB of FLASH, and 8MB of PSRAM for robust performance.

Camera: The integrated 3MP OV3660 camera supports a variety of formats (RAW, RGB, YCbCr), an active array size of 2048 x 1536 pixels, and a maximum image transfer rate of 15 fps at full resolution. It also offers flexibility with support for lower resolutions like 1080p at 20 fps and VGA at 60 fps.

Advanced Sensor System:9-Axis Sensor System: The kit includes a BMI270 (6-axis IMU with gyroscope and accelerometer) and a BMM150 (3-axis geomagnetic sensor), providing precise motion tracking and accurate spatial orientation. The BMI270 is optimized for low power consumption, making it ideal for battery-powered applications.
