programmable motorized focus camera raspberry pi now support auto focus. the standard pi camera is fixed focus lens, some of them are glued which can not be adjust by users, and some of them are not glued which can be adjust the lens focus manually. but in certian circu*stance, you want to programmably control the focus distance remotely where the device can not be reached. the arducam team now designed motorized control focus 5mp and 8mp camera module for raspberry pi series boards to address this problem. now the auto focus function is also implement by the arducam team, now the auto-focus demo source code is available. arducam v2.1 multi-camera adapter board for raspberry pi 8mp camera imx219. since the old multi-camera adapter board doesn’t work with raspberry pi 8mp imx219 pi camera due to the camera driver issue. now arducam team designed upgrade v2.1 multi-camera adapter board for both 5mp and 8mp pi cameras. consider that the high speed csi camera mipi signal integrity is sensitive to long cable connection, the new adapter board can only connect maximum 4 cameras to a single pi board. because it covers the most of the use cases like 360 degree view photography and surveillance, and add more cameras will degrade the performance of the cameras. like always please note that raspberry pi multi camera adapter board is nascent product that may have some stability issues and limitations because of the cable’s signal integrity and rpi’s closed source video core libraries, so use it on your own risk. the second generation of arducam usb2.0 shield is designed to replace the old one compatible. the highlight of the new usb2.0 camera shield is that it has onboard 8mbyte hardware frame buffer, and overcome the bandwidth and dropping frames issue when using the software frame buffer scheme. in addition, with onboard frame buffer it supports synchronized multiple cameras taking images exactly at the same time. now it well supports both pc and embedded system like raspberry pi, and also can
