Sipeed Maix I Binocular Camera Module Dual GC0328 30k Pixels

The module is supported within the Maix AIoT ecosystem. You can develop firmware using the official MaixPy (MicroPython) SDK, the C/C++ based Kendryte K210 SDK (NNCase, NNCASE-TFLite Micro), or the Arduino core for K210. Development typically involves connecting the module to a compatible Maix Dock or Bit board, installing the necessary toolchain, and writing code to capture and process synchronized stereo image streams for depth mapping or object detection.

Connect the module's 24-pin FPC cable to the dedicated camera interface connector on your Maix board (e.g., Maix Dock, Maix Bit). Ensure the connection is secure and the latch is closed. Power the module by supplying either 3.3V or 1.8V to the appropriate power pins on the FPC interface, as defined in the Maix I pinout diagram. The voltage selection must match your board's camera port output or be regulated externally. Always power down the system before connecting or disconnecting the FPC cable.

First, initialize both GC0328 sensors via the camera driver (e.g., using `sensor.snapshot()` in MaixPy). The SDK handles synchronization. Capture left and right image frames simultaneously. Apply a stereo vision algorithm, such as block matching or Semi-Global Matching (SGM), to compute a disparity map from the two images. Calibrate your camera pair beforehand using a checkerboard pattern to obtain intrinsic and extrinsic parameters for accurate depth calculation. Finally, convert disparity values to real-world depth measurements using the triangulation formula based on your calibrated baseline distance.
