    This document provides instructions for using a Raspberry Pi multi-camera adapter module that allows connecting multiple cameras to a single Raspberry Pi. The adapter module can connect up to 4 cameras and up to 4 modules can be stacked to support up to 16 cameras connected to one Raspberry Pi. The module uses DIP switches and GPIO pins to multiplex the camera signals and allow selecting which individual camera is enabled. Specific GPIO pin configurations and DIP switch settings are provided for operating from 1 to 4 stacked adapter modules with instructions on taking photos or videos from the different cameras.

    Raspberry Pi Multi Camera Adapter Module User Guide

    1 Introduction
    Raspberry Pi multi camera adapter module is designed for connecting more than one camera
    to a single CSI camera port on Raspberry Pi board. One adapter board can connect 4 cameras and
    user can stack up maxim 4 adapter boards that means up to 16 cameras on a single Raspberry Pi
    board. Please note that Raspberry Pi multi camera adapter board is nascent product that may have
    some stability issues and limitations because of the cables signal integrity and RPi's closed source
    video core libraries, so use it on your own risk.

    2 Application

    IoT cameras

    Robot cameras

    Wildlife cameras

    3D scanner

    3 Features

    Accommodate 4 Raspberry Pi cameras on an multi camera adapter board


    Stackable and maxim cascade 4 adapter boards
    3 GPIOs required for multiplexing on one adapter board, 5 GPIOs for two adapter board, 9
    GPIOs for four adapter board
    All camera ports are FFC (flexible flat cable) connectors
    DIP switches for easy stack up configuration
    Support Raspberry Pi A/B/B+ and Pi 2.

    4 Pin Configuration
    DIP switches are used here for easy stack up configuration. When only one multi camera
    adapter board is used, the switches 1and 5 should be switched to ON position. If two multi camera
    adapter boards are used, the downside board should be switched 1 and 5 to ON and upside board
    should be switched 2 and 6 to ON position, and if 3 or 4 multi camera adapter boards are used
    together each board layer should be configured as the Table 1 shown.

    5 Operation
    For proper operation, only one camera should be enabled at a time. In case of only one multi
    camera adapter board is used, driving GPIO12 HIGH and driving GPIO11,GPIO7 to LOW to
    enable camera A on the adapter board. Enable camera B, C and D, please refer the Table 2 for
    camera selection configuration. To disable all cameras on one adapter board, Enable 1 and Enable
    2 signals should be toggled HIGH. Care should be taken that it is not allowed to drive the Enable 1
    and Enable 2 LOW at the same time. When connecting more than two multi camera adapter
    boards, only one of the cameras can be enabled by enabling the desired camera on one adapter
    board, and disable all the cameras on the rest of adapter boards.

    As normal camera operation, user can still use raspistill or raspivid command to take photos
    or videos. By control the GPIOs according to the Table 1 and Table 2 configuration, user can take
    photos or videos by switching between different cameras. Have funs!
