4) All MicroPython codes are open source, and we will provide 40+ detailed tutorials for users' reference.
5) Three brackets with different heights for choice, users can fix module on different robots or smart cars.

Packing List

Appearance & Hardware

The overall structure of the module is small and exquisite, and the size is about 57mm*41mm.
The front of the module is a 2.0-inch touch screen with a resolution of 320*240.
The back integrates TF card slot, buttons, RGB lights, OV2640 camera and other parts, and comes with a frosted acrylic shell, which is not only beautiful but also can effectively protect the module.

Built-in LCD CapacitiveTouch Screen
Built-in 2.0-inch LCD capacitive touch screenwith a resolution of 320*240,flexible opera-tion control and clear display, can displayprocessing results more intuitively,and isconvenient for users to quickly debug.

OV2046 Camera

On board OV2640 camera,supports 2MP output, adopts CMOS image sensortechnology, high sensitivity and low powerconsumption.

Serial port interface

PH2.0-4PIN serial port, which can be used to connect to other serial devices and output custom data.

Micro USB interface

Can be used to download firmware, serial debugging, connect to lDE, etc.

TF card slot (32G TF for free)

K210 vision recognition module has a TF cardslot on board, which can be used to storedata and model files and simplify the Alvision process with a complimentary 32GBTF card.

RGB light and button

RGB lights can be programmed through custom function buttons to meet user-defined programming needs, and theprogram can also be reset with one keythrough the reset button.

Remove the screws on the back of the module, and you can insert the parts of the Lego brick EV3 to build some unique shapes. As shown below.

We also provide three kinds of aluminum alloy brackets, which can adjust the height and angle of the K210 vision module respectively. Users can choose according to their needs, and then fix the K210 module on their own car or robot with screws.

Through serial port communication, the K210 vision module can communicate with some devices (such as: Microbit, Arduino, STM32), so that these devices have the functions of AI visual recognition.

Programming

K210 visual recognition module uses the MicroPython programming language, and the compilation software uses CanMv, which does not need to compile the code, and the code can be modified and debugged online.

Function Shows

Color recognition
K210 vision recognition modulecan identify the color of thecolor block in the screen andselect it in the display frame.Through serial communication,the external control device canobtain the position and size ofdifferent color blocks in theimage.

Bar coderecognition
K210 vision recognition modulecan recognize various types of barcodes, frame the position of thebar code， extract the data of thebar code, and can program thedata to be transmitted to theextermal control device throughserial communication.

QR coderecognition
K210 vision recognition modulecan recognize the QR code in thescreen and select it on the displayscreen. Through serial port com-munication, the external controldevice can obtain the contentdata of the two-dimensional code.

Face detection
K210 vision recognition module detects theface, then uses the star symbol to frame theface organs, such as eyes, nose, mouth, etc.,and obtains the information of the face, which can be read through the external serialport.

Summary

After unboxing K210 module, it can be concluded that the module has excellent performance, can realize image classification, object detection and other applications, and has rich hardware interfaces and software support. But at the same time, there are some defects, such as restrictions on the resolution of the input image. In general, the K210 vision module is an excellent artificial intelligence processor, suitable for the development and research of image processing and AI applications in the embedded field.
