Retail Footfall Camera Kit v17
Retail Footfall Camera Kit v17 – Build a Pi 5 Vision System for PCB Assembly Verification with LED Guidance
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn a Raspberry Pi 5 into a precision inspection machine that watches over a PCB assembly line—capturing high-detail images with the Pi Camera Module 3, comparing placements against a reference layout, and lighting an LED green or red to guide the operator instantly. This kit gives you the exact hardware and step-by-step AI support to build that automated quality checker, all without hunting for compatible parts.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a full vision station: a Pi 5 boots swiftly from the included NVMe SSD, the ring light ensures even illumination, and the camera takes sharp pictures of the PCB. Your Python script then runs template matching to verify each component’s position. The outcome is a practical, teachable machine vision module that mimics real-world industrial inspection, ready to expand into retail analytics or automated checking cells.
What You'll Learn
- Install and configure Raspberry Pi 5 with an NVMe SSD via the M.2 HAT for reliable, fast storage and boot.
- Interface the Pi Camera Module 3 to capture high-resolution stills and live video feeds.
- Implement OpenCV-based template matching in Python to detect resistor, capacitor, and IC placements on a PCB.
- Drive an LED array through GPIO pins, turning them into clear pass/fail indicators linked to the vision check.

Who This Kit Is For
CBSE Class 11-12 students exploring embedded vision will find a complete, ready-to-build system that bridges textbook concepts and hands-on reality. B.Tech ECE/EEE undergraduates can prototype a vision-based quality control module for internships or mini projects. Smart India Hackathon participants gain a reliable vision base to build automated inspection demos. ATL Tinkering Labs get an advanced camera experiment that teaches industrial automation principles in a safe, guided manner.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code inside the box to start a conversation with the AI companion trained on this build; if you need more help, message us on WhatsApp and an engineer will respond within hours.
Does this kit require any soldering?
No soldering is needed. All connections use jumper wires and plug‑and‑play headers; you’ll only breadboard the LED and resistor circuit, keeping the build safe and reversible.
Can the vision system recognise different PCB designs?
Yes, once you understand the template matching workflow, you can supply your own reference images. The project code includes comments that show how to update the reference template for new boards.
Do I need a separate monitor for the Pi 5?
The Pi 5 supports dual HDMI output, so any standard monitor or TV works for initial setup. After configuration, the vision system can run headlessly while still sending feedback through the LED array.
