This kit includes the small but mightly Raspberry Pi Pico with pre-soldered headers. It is a tiny, fast, and versatile board built using RP2040, a brand new microcontroller chip designed by Raspberry Pi. It also includes the Arducam Mini 2MP Plus OV2640 SPI camera module. The Arducam is a general-purpose solution compatible with multiple platforms, include Arduino, ESP32, and the Raspberry Pi Pico we’re using. It helps your pico see the world and acquire visual information. The other accessories needed for the Person Detection demo is also included in the bundle.
