Mini-AI-Camera-Module is an open source ESP32 PCB design by bartsil, published on GitHub under the Apache-2.0 license. It is a 4-layer board measuring 25 × 25 mm, with 60 components from 32 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the ESP32-S3FH4R2, from the ESP32 family. Other key parts include the VL53L5CX-SENSOR_DISTANCE, CH213K, RT9193-1V2, RT9193-2V8 and AP63203WU. By type, the board carries 29 capacitors, 14 resistors, 6 ICs, 3 diodes, 3 inductors and 2 connectors.

It belongs with the iot & wireless and robotics & motion designs in this gallery.

From the project

Mini AI Camera Module based on ESP32-S3 for IoT and robotic projects

The Mini AI Camera Module is a compact platform based on the ESP32-S3, combining a standard visible-light camera with a LiDAR sensor. The module is designed as a low-cost solution for implementing simple AI algorithms, image recognition, and basic 3D depth perception.

This project includes: - OV5640 visible-light camera (5 MP) - VL53L5CX LiDAR camera with an 8×8 pixel depth map

Mini-AI-Camera-Module: common questions

What microcontroller does the Mini-AI-Camera-Module use?

The Mini-AI-Camera-Module is built around the ESP32-S3FH4R2, from the ESP32 family.

How big is the Mini-AI-Camera-Module?

The Mini-AI-Camera-Module measures 25 × 25 mm, has 4 copper layers and is 1.6 mm thick.

How many components are on the Mini-AI-Camera-Module?

60 components, from 32 distinct parts, with part numbers taken from the project's own BOM. The full bill of materials is listed on this page.

Where can I download the Mini-AI-Camera-Module design files?

From the bartsil/Mini-AI-Camera-Module repository on GitHub, which has the KiCad layout, the schematic and the BOM; the links under Design files point to each one.

Can I use the Mini-AI-Camera-Module design in my own project?

Yes, under the terms of its Apache-2.0 license, which bartsil chose for the repository.

Can I test firmware for the Mini-AI-Camera-Module without the hardware?

Yes. HardLabs builds a simulation of the board from its netlist and BOM, so you can run and debug ESP32 firmware against it before you order a PCB.
