Tried using pin 16 as input to make ldr start stub, but ended up just going in a boot loop. Scrapped that idea. I didn't really want to run a second cntlr to switch on and off the camera as it would defeat the objective, and being on battery adds to the issue. Have decided to use a remote trigger as a separate control and wake trigger.

Is there anything magical about GPIO 16? I tried to use it to get a digital value (a simply push button), but all I got was the device apparently performing a reset.

Have never seen the use of the sd card reader anyway. The module is a wifi camera, so why not just using the cam over web sockets? and save it on any device where you can have a node.js server running. Which is almost all machines, from raspberry pi to IBM Watson :D

Yes, but there are uses where the module might not have a WiFi connection, for example a trail cam. I've built environmental sensors in remote areas that would have to store their data because they didn't have connectivity.

is it possible to do i2c on esp32-s using the sd card pins? if sd card wont be used.

You'd have to reassign the SDA and SDL pins because the default ESP32 pins (GPIO 26 and 27) are used for the camera

It seems to me that GPIO 13 is the CS (Chip Select) pin for sd card - DATA 3 I think is the same as CS. So, if we pull this low, we should be abble to talk to other SPI devices (on ports GPIO 14 - CLK, GPIO 15 - MOSI, GPIO 2 - MISO). And I guess we could use a shift register as a sort of a SPI device also? Also what interest me are GPIO 26 and GPIO 27. These are for I2C communication with the camera. The ports are not brought out to the board for some reason, even though one should be able to communicate with multiple devices on i2C. What whould happen if we just soldered 2 wires to the appropriate chip connectors and used the I2C? ESP32-Camera is cheap and compact, maybe we could make a usefull device out of it?

From my understanding, this board was released mostly as a proof-of-concept for developers. I'm sure there are plenty of ways to hack this board into being more useful. I've seen other ESP boards that also integrate PiR sensors and OLEDs.

thank you for the detailed information. I want to use an IMU sensor and 4 PWM OPs, if I use IMU on SPI looks like I can get 4 IOs for PWM, do you think the same? or any other suggestion?

Have any of you had thermal management issues with this board? I've found the higher the resolution is set the hotter it runs and at the max resolution (1600*1200) my first board got so hot that it died after about 20 minutes. That was at room temp in open air too.
@BasementElectronics
2 жыл бұрын
I haven't used the higher resolutions because the results never seem to be consistent and the framerate is unusable. Good to know about the heat issues though. It might be worth sacrificing a module to find out

You're right. The LED shares GPIO4 with one of the SD card data lines. This can be useful if you're saving pictures to the SD card - the flash automatically comes on :)

Even if you power the board with 5V, the ESP uses 3.3V for its GPIO pins.

I don't know how to specifically do this. One idea to try is to have your software watch for changes in the image.

I don't think Esp32 is good for camera operations. Better buy Kendryte K210. I tried getting the high res image and couldn't get more than 320x240/15 fps maybe. Higher res are better for still pics plus I2S is really unstable above 20Mhz

I'm a little disappointed with the ESP cameras too. I'm wondering if the problem is with the OV2640 camera or the software/board. At some point I'm going to try an OV7670 camera to see if it works better.
