- [[Kwabena W. Agyeman](https://www.linkedin.com/in/kwabena-agyeman-bb559239/)](/content/pages/about/index.html): Ibrahim created the OpenMV project back in 2013 In Search of a Better Serial Camera Module. His goal was to build a small, affordable, and expandable machine vision module. Over time the project grew from his blog to a Hackaday Project, then to a KickStarter, and finally to what it is today. I joined the OpenMV project (2,720 words)
- [Price](/content/products/openmv-cam-m4-v1/index.html): The OpenMV Cam is a small, low power, microcontroller board which allows you to easily implement applications using machine vision in the real-world. You program the OpenMV Cam in high level Python scripts (courtesy of the MicroPython Operating System) instead 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 pins 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 pins. (2,795 words)
- [Why should I use an OpenMV Cam and not a Raspberry Pi?](/content/pages/faq/index.html): You've got questions, we've got answers.
