The OpenMV Cam is a small, low power, microcontroller board which allows you to easily implement applicatio using machine vision in the real-world. You program the OpenMV Cam in high level Python scripts (courtesy of the MicroPython Operating System) itead of C/C . This makes it easier to deal with the complex outputs of machine vision algorithms and working with high level data structures. But, you still have total control over your OpenMV Cam and its I/O pi in Python. You can easily trigger taking pictures and video on external events or execute machine vision algorithms to figure out how to control your I/O pi.
