Orange Pi and Arducam System

This section covers how to wire the Orange Pi and Arducam System. This is a vision system that we use as an alternative to the Limelight system. 

Background

Orange Pi

Figure 1

The Orange Pi (Figure 1) is a high-speed single board computer powered by a buck converter which is connected to the PDH. It requires 5 volts to power it this is where the buck converter comes in.

The buck converter is shown above in Figure 2. Our particular converter is a DC to DC converter which means it transfers the same type of current. What the buck converter does is it turns the 12 volts from the PDH to 5 volts.

Arducam

The arducam (Figure 3) is a robust high quality camera module specifically created for processors like the Orange Pi and Raspberry Pi. In our system we connect the arducam to the Orange Pi via USB.
