Machine vision with low-cost camera modules

If you're interested in embedded machine learning (TinyML) on the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense, you'll have found a ton of on-board sensors -- digital microphone, accelerometer, gyro, magnetometer, light, proximity, temperature, humidity and color -- but realized that for vision you need to attach an external camera. In this article, we will show you how to get image data from a low-cost VGA camera module. We'll be using the Arduino_OVD767x library to make the software side of things simpler. You can of course get a board without headers and solder instead, if that's your preference. The one downside to this setup is that (in module form) there are a lot of jumpers to connect.
