Adafruit OV5640 Camera Breakout

Camera connections

For the Raspberry Pi Pico setup shown in these examples, wire the following connections:

OV5640 GND to Pi Pico GND
OV5640 3V to Pi Pico 3V3
OV5640 SDA to Pi Pico GP8
OV5640 SCL to Pi Pico GP9
OV5640 HS to Pi Pico GP21
OV5640 VS to Pi Pico GP7
OV5640 XC to Pi Pico GP11
OV5640 PC to Pi Pico GP20
OV5640 D2..D9 to Pi Pico GP12..GP19
OV5640 RT to Pi Pico GP10

The pull-up resistors shown on GP8 and GP9 are not required for Adafruit's OV5640 camera break-out board but may be required for other camera breakout boards.

Many of these connections carry high frequency signals. Keep wire lengths short and consider using a perma-proto board to improve signal integrity.

LCD connections

For the LCD display, make the following connections:

Display V+ to Pi Pico VBUS
Display GND to Pi Pico GND
Display CK to Pi Pico GP2
Display SI to Pi Pico GP3
Display DC to Pi Pico GP0
Display TC to Pi Pico GP1

Here's a diagram of the many connections required; rather than trying to trace out the connections from this image, though, it's better to use the bullet list of connections above.
