B-CAMS-OMV Alternative

[alaraf]

Is there any alternative of "B-CAMS-OMV" to use with "STM32F746G-DISCOVERY" as in my region it is not available and the cost will be huge if I want to ship it to Bangladesh. So, is there any alternative modules that I can search for?

Welcome @alaraf, to the community!

You could search for:

1. OV5640 (5Mpx) OMV camera modules (OpenMV-style)

   • same sensor OV5640 as on the B-CAMS-OMV
   • same 1×30 FPC/ZIF OMV form factor
   • typically drop‑in compatible hardware
   • almost unchanged firmware (same I2C address, same register set)
     
     

2. OV2640 (2Mpx) or OV7725 (VGA) OMV camera modules

   • same 1×30 ZIF OMV connector
   • different sensors requiring new init code (different I²C address, register set)
   • DCMI/I²C interface remains the same

Hopefully, your preferred search engine will find suggestions from your region. Just double‑check the 30‑pin OMV pinout (DCMI lines, XCLK, I²C, PWDN, RESET, 3.3V, GND) for mechanical and electrical compatibility.

Hope that helps?

can you check if you can order STM32F4DIS-CAM? it may be compatible with the B-CAM-OMV.
