arducam_esp32s_uno's Issues

Issue Sending images taken to a server

I'm currently trying to take images with the arducam and send these images to a database stored on a server. I'm sending the image as a string of the base64 encoded bits from reading the SPI, and after testing it seems like all the data is coming out correct, but when I try to decode the image it produces an invalid jpeg. I was wondering if there are any special formatting things I need to do with the data read from the SPI transfer to properly save the image taken as a JPEG.

OSX Directory Permission Error

When you try to get the esp32 tools with get.py the following error appears:
OSError: [Errno 1] Operation not permitted: './xtensa-esp32-elf/xtensa-esp32-elf/lib'

Fix:
Change access rights of xtensa-esp32-elf or recreate the directory as user.

PlatformIO Support

Are there any plans to provide support for PlatformIO? I looked briefly into setting up a custom platform/board but got a little lost.

Compilation aborted after uninitialized values.

Error:
/Documents/Arduino/hardware/ArduCAM/ArduCAM_ESP32S_UNO/libraries/ArduCAM/ArduCAM.cpp:973:4: error: 'reg_val' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized] while ((reg_addr != 0xff) | (reg_val != 0xffff))

Fix:
Set it to 0x00 at line 973 and 1005

unsigned int reg_addr = 0x00;
unsigned int reg_val = 0x00;

currently unable to download due to CRC issue

Unable to properly download due to a bad CRC return. I have tried this on Mac/Windows/Linux, all end up with the same results:

Is there any way to work around this issue? seems like anywhere I see it, it just "magically" works, but I'm on 2 days of attempting anything to get this going, and no luck.

ov2640_mini_2MP captured picture is blurred for moving object

Hi all,

Do you have meet similar problem regard ov2640_mini_2MP with ESP32 captured the picture is blurred for moving object? How to ensure the captured picture clear for moving object?

thanks!

Andy

Is the boards JSON file updated?

I tried to install the boards (Arduino IDE 1.6.8 and 1.8.5 on macOS High Sierra) and it can't download the zip file. Is there any problem on the jSON file?

Arducam esp32s_uno_psram write to SD card errors 0x109

Re-definition of swap macro causes problems when including stdlibc++ dependencies

It doesn't seem like anything in ArduCAM even uses this swap macro, so maybe it's safe to remove it? I was able to compile after commenting it out for the platform I'm using (ESP32).

camera=>cellular module=>ESP32

hi
sorry to open ticket for my question, it may not related to this repo but I really appreciated for any possible technical advise. Actually I intend to select a cellular module like SIM7100E 4G link for video stream, it has SPI interface and only control by slow AT command, I was wondering for any tip about whether is possible to directly connect a cellular module to camera while control other feature of module with MCU host which is in this case is ESP32

Can I use "ArduCAM_ESP32_Capture.ino" for OV5642 Mini 5MP?

In the comments of ArduCAM_ESP32_Capture it says that this demo work only on OV2640_MINI_2MP or ARDUCAM_SHIELD_V2 platform. Is there any reason that it is not working for ov5642 based arducam? Why there is only a demo that needs an SD card for the ov5642?

Hello,

Do you have a library launch forecast including compatibility with the AR0134 Global Shutter module?

ArduCAM ESP32 Series Development Boards - documentation and distributors

Hi!

I have searched the web, but I did not find anything about these boards.
Where can I find the documentation? Where can I buy those?

Arducam ESP32S Uno Pinout

I am trying to hook up an Adafruit Lora RFM9X to an Arducam ESP32-S Uno board. However, I am receiving the following error:

Failed to put device in Lora Mode
RH_RF95_REG_01_OP_MODE: 0

I believe this error is coming from a pin layout error when hooking up the wiring between the ESP and the Lora. More specifically, I believe the error is coming from the placement of hardware interrupt pin. Does anyone have any familiarity with the Arducam board and could offer some assistance?

CORS header missing

Hi,

I'm having an issue getting the capture example running : when the GET request is sent to the ESP32, I get the response

Server is running!

URI: /a
Method: GET
Arguments: 3

QL change to: 2

But at the same time, I get an error on the console saying that a CORS request has been blocked as the CORS header was missing.
I tried with 3 different browser (firefox, edge, chrome) but without success (still can't get the image from the camera)...

What are is the correct method to make a cameraInit() wakeup function

I'm trying to wake up camera only on the moment of taking a picture and then shutting it of via a P-channel mosfet.

So I built this functions:

void cameraInit() {
  digitalWrite(gpioCameraVcc, LOW);       // Power camera ON
  // OV5642 Needs special settings otherwise will not wake up
  myCAM.clear_bit(6, GPIO_PWDN_MASK);  // Disable low power
  delay(3);
  myCAM.set_format(JPEG);
  myCAM.InitCAM();
  delay(50); 
  myCAM.write_reg(3, 2);               // VSYNC is active HIGH
  delay(47);
}

void cameraOff() {
  digitalWrite(gpioCameraVcc, HIGH); // Power camera OFF
}

But I discovered that this times are not working the same with different OV5642 5 megapixels camera. Question is: There is not a more clever way to do this ? Like make a while(check something)
that will return true when camera wakes up fully ?
Can you please reference me to a code snippet ?

Issues with Image Capture Example Sketch

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue with the image capture example sketch, when I click on a resolution option on the UI, the serial monitor begins to flash a series of GET requests over and over, sometimes it might go on for a few seconds whereas other times it may go on for 30+ seconds until the image is finally captured and sent, but the time taken to capture and send the image still reference times around 30 ms even though I'm not seeing the image for 30+ seconds sometimes. Has anyone ever experienced this issue? I'll attach an image of the serial monitor and what it looks like. Thanks in advance for any tips/help you guys can lend me!

Is esp32 faster the esp8266

Good day. What is the maximum frame rate that can be achieved with the esp32 compared to the 8266 board?
Is there any improvement in performance other than more I/O pins?

Archive size differs from index

Unable to install in Arduino IDE 2.0.0. This is the error that I receive:( Error: 13 INTERNAL: Cannot install platform: installing platform ArduCAM_ESP32S:[email protected]: testing local archive integrity: testing archive size: fetched archive size differs from size specified in index ). Arduino v1.8.19 will install no problem! It's became difficult to use the old version because repeated pop up for libraries that I cannot use. Is this a fixable issue? or am i just a dummy when it comes to using these instructions?

update to the libraries

Greetings to the people,

The espressif libraries are updated, but not here i suppose, i tried to use the "WiFiClientSecure.h" and use the name.setInsecure() function it throwed a error stating no class member found. When i browsed to the library files, yes the member function was not found. But to the esp32 espressif repo it is found. Then i tried to recursively update it here from espressif repo, and ended up in crashing the IDE. It would be help full in periodic upgradation of the libraries.
If i am wrong or missed a part correct me, my goal is to use the setInscure member function from WiFiClientsecure.h
