SPIKE Smart Camera Breakout Board (spike-openmv)

Description

Transform your LEGO robotics experience with the SPIKE Smart Camera Breakout board. Specifically engineered for LEGO SPIKE Prime and MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor hubs, this PCB effortlessly integrates third-party electronics. From advanced AI Cameras like OpenMV and Huskylens to a myriad of other gadgets, redefine the capabilities of your LEGO creations. You could say that it’s an OpenMV MINDSTORMS shield.

However, this board is also useable with a camera, as a very versatile breakout board. No need to sacrifice a distance sensor with a distance sensor breakout board.

Key Features of the SPIKE Breakout Board

• Plug-and-play Pre-Soldered: Forget the fuss of soldering. The board arrives pre-soldered, ensuring stability and saving you time. Just plug and play!
• High-Power Performance: Equipped with a 5V buck voltage converter, it’s primed for high-power applications. Harness the full amperage of the internal battery to power your LEDs, screens, servos, and more without missing a beat.
• Use as a general breakout board, even without a camera: While tailored for smart AI Cameras, the board boasts compatibility with an array of third-party electronics.
• Top-Grade PCB: Crafted with precision, this high-quality PCB ensures longevity and consistent, reliable performance.
• Micropython libraries included: On Github, we share free libraries to make communication with third-party electronics easy.
• OpenMV Shield Dimensions: This board has the size of an openMV Shield and allows you to stack more shields, including the LCD display. Works on all OpenMV models, even the new OpenMV RT.

Use Cases for the SPIKE Breakout Board

1. Advanced Robotic Vision: Equip your SPIKE robot with an AI camera through this board. Recognize objects, track movements, or interact with visual cues for an enhanced robotic experience. Follow the Huskylens guide, or the OpenMV guide.
2. Dynamic Light Displays: With the 5V buck converter, create intricate LED displays or dynamic light patterns that sync with your robot’s actions.
3. Interactive Learning Modules: Couple a screen with the SPIKE hub, teaching coding concepts or providing feedback through dynamic visual aids.
