Frequently Asked Questions

How do I connect this Arducam IMX378 module to my Raspberry Pi?

This module connects via an Arducam USB Camera Shield. First, connect the camera's flex cable to the shield. Then, plug the shield into a USB port on your Raspberry Pi. Install the provided V4L2 drivers or Arducam software tools on your Raspberry Pi OS. The camera will appear as a standard USB video device, compatible with OpenCV, Picamera2, and other imaging libraries.

What software and libraries support the RAW10/RAW12 output format?

To utilize the RAW10/RAW12 output, you need to use Arducam's specific SDK or capture software, which provides APIs to access the uncompressed sensor data. Libraries like OpenCV can then process the raw Bayer pattern data for demosaicing. Standard Raspberry Pi camera software (like libcamera) may not support this raw mode without custom configuration using the manufacturer's provided drivers and example code.

Is this camera compatible with Raspberry Pi 5 and Compute Module 4?

Yes, this IMX378 module is fully compatible with Raspberry Pi 5, Pi 4, Pi 3, Pi Zero, Compute Module 3, and Compute Module 4. The compatibility is achieved through the USB interface of the Arducam Camera Shield, which is a universal connection method across all these Raspberry Pi models that have a USB host port. Ensure your OS has the necessary V4L2 kernel modules enabled.
