Found your channel recently, just tried this project and the load cell one and they both work! Wanted to thank you for making these videos. Without you I wouldn’t have been able to make this camera work. Keep up the great work and good luck!
Great stuff! Just discovered that the custom tools functionality (so ArduImageCapture) is not implemented in Arduino IDE > version 2.0. Be sure to use legacy IDE
@@nitish6491you can just go to the folder and search for a .bat file. You will see it runs some java code which is also there. It worked for me. It doesn’t need to be in arduino, you can run it outside the ide
For anyone who just keeps getting the red screen and everything looks correct. You even get the vsync word popping up in the terminal. Try switching out the 1k and 680k resistors for 4.7k resisters. 4.7's on both connections. I'm not sure why this worked for me. I believe it is a difference in the camera chip itself. My ov767 module was labeled differently is as follows: scl = sioc sda = siod mclk = xclk pclk = pclx vs = vsync If yours is labeled this way it may be your resistors that need changing. Only change the 1k and 680 though. Leave the 10k resisters alone, they are fine. I don't know why this works I'm just documenting that it did. Hope this helps someone, because it threw me for a loop. this guide was great though. Also if you have the new Arduino ide It may be better to just get the old version which is still available on the website. Idk why I didn't think of that sooner trying to get this working with the new ide is annoying.
Hi Indrek, good to see you back on these tutorials! Thank you so much for your assistance in my load cell project earlier this year. Hope to see more amazing videos from you :) All the best, Darren
Hello friend, wondering if your Arduino Spreadsheet tool works with the new Arduino IDE 2.3.2? I used to use it on older versions and it worked fantastic, but now when I put it in the same "tools" folder, I cannot see it within the IDE
when downloading the code I have a problem instead of the folder LiveOV7670.ino I have LiveOV7670 which is a notepad file, but still, the type is written as an INO file can u help me with it? what should I do? thank you,
I didnt watch the video yet , but the 3.3v comes from the ch340g chip which is the com chip and its pretty easy to burn this chip if you pull too much current from it. Its a better idea all in all to never use that 3.3v out and just use a 3.3v regulator instead
This is so cool! At last someone who solved the mysteries of OV7670! Idea for a future Iteration: A version that streams the Image to the LCD and into the PC at the same time. 🙂
Can the arduimagecapture work with 16 bit RGB565? i would like to send my ILI9341 frame buffer to the computer. If it does,I imagine it would be faster since its sending 16 bits instead of 24.
good day sir, i will be blunt with you. 7 years ago i repeatedly attempted to get this to work, bought a level shifter, 2 cameras and failed to make it work after many days of frustrating work. thanks to your tutorial i have succeeded and i am extremely thankful. to be blunt, although i am not this way inclined i would be willing to offer myself to provide "favors" as i am so happy that i have managed to do this. thank you sir.
@@Project2025WILLRUINYOURLIFE I am getting that red image, insite of doing all the pixel data connections, I tried different baud rates as well.. I am using Arduino IDe 1.8.18 version
@@prajapatimanvendra3128 sorry to hear this. if you've checked your wiring is correct, make sure your resistors are correct (i find it very easy to misread the colors). if that doesn't work, maybe check one of your wires isn't broken inside?
Hi Indrek, thanks for the video. Please, Can I connect the D0 to D7 of the camera to I/O Expander pcf8574? Which of the camera pins are input and output? I haven't tried it because I don't want to damage any of my boards. Thank you in anticipation.
Hi Indrek! Your tutorial is amazing! Thanks a lot. Just one question: is there any way to save to an SD card any image captured by the camera? I'm trying to do something like a "surveilance camera" (not connected to a PC): when a PIR sensor is activated, the arduino captures an image on a SD card. Is it possible? Can you help me? Thanks.
haii, thank you sm for this tutorial, but I can't get the arduImagecapture, I have tried for many times. can you tell me how fix the problem? I use arduino ide 2.21
haiii thank you so much, finally I can connect the camera to arduino uno. then, I permit to recreate this video for my duty in the college in indonesian language🙏 hope you give the permission for it
I have a problem with that. The red screen does not change .. and the vsync word appearing after the red screen appears.. i checked the wiring more than 5 times and iam sure it is right.. some times the arduino send a message that i must download the last version of arduino and imagecapture .. but arduino 2.0 does not have image capture and when i downloaded it , it does not work too.. can you help me please ❤
unfortunately not working for me. The picture where it is supposed to be green in ImageArduCapture is sometimes working, sometimes not, regardless of the baudrate. Sometimes it threws errors, sometimes not. Mostly the picture look frizzy black and green. and when noting is connected, sometimes the image is red, sometimes blue with a frizzy top.. just not working and always other seemingly random results.
Can i use this camera to make an OCR with arduino and outputs the text as a sound to help blind people in simple daily tasks which or it will be difficult to implement?
1. I using ov7670 camera module for obstacle Avoidance car. So I used L293d motor driver shield. How to change my own pins in the code. 2. For camera test I tried it Arduino uno without L293d motor driver shield its work.but I want to change ov7670 camera image angle.(I fixed camera which pin side below and that time image is rotated) so I want to change rotate Angele. Can you help me.
Hi @indrek i am followed your tutorials step by step, but while compiling on Arduino Uno it shows the following error message... error: no members matching 'Adafruit_GFX::drawRGBBitmap' in 'class Adafruit_GFX' using Adafruit_GFX::drawRGBBitmap; // Check base class first ^~~~~~~~~~~~~ exit status 1 Error compiling for board Arduino Uno. kindly help
Hello lndrek, I was wondering if you knew what these boards where. My son and I are building a small robot by Thames Kosmos and I wanted to put a blue tooth camera on it. Thanks.
Hi Luuk, I'm looking for analyzing video data from a Camera to use it in a home made spectrophotometer, so I would know if is possible not just to display video image captured on a window, but rather logging each single video data byte from Camera to analyze it by arduino itself or eventually by PC. Thanks a lot for your any information, and congratulation for your very good explanation of all your projects. Andrea (from Rome, Italy)
I rephrase my question to be more precise : Can I use "arduImageCapture" tool to display images from any type of camera as optical mouse sensor ? Of course, using an appropriate Arduino code. Please can you also give me a summary on how images are sent to this plugin so that I know how I should write my arduino code. I need this information for a Master's project. Thank you so much for saving me.
Hi there. First of all I would like to thank you for providing such a resourceful video. I have installed the plugin and just as you said, added it in the tools folder. However I am still not able to see the option from tools bar in the arduino IDE. Would be grateful if you help. Thankyou!
Idk if you still need this but the same happened to me and I had to revert to an older version of the Arduino IDE to view the option in Tools, try to get a version that is older than 2.0, 1.8 worked for me
Hmmm so I'm using an Arduino clone and it looks just like the one in the video, but I can't seem to use the 1 or 2 Mbps baud rates. Anyone have some insight into why that might be?
Very good video! Is there any way to adjust the contrast and/or change the colors? The contrast is way too high in grayscale mode and in RGB mode everything has a red tint for me
Hello, thank you for your good video. I use arduino mega in my project. When I upload the Exampleuart.cpp code to Mega, the red rectangle image does not appear; But when I use uno it appears. Why? Can I use your video and code on arduino mega? Thank you for your guidance.
We had the same problem today. After looking at some other videos : The pins for the arduino mega are different from the arduino uno, here is the video I used : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8SNrivo5VDA.html, in the description there is a link to github where the is the new code you should use and at the bottom of the page there are the changes you should make to your wiring. Hope this helps
@@solalpapillard9364 thank you very much 🙏. One more question: I have searched a lot to learn how to set up this module with FIFO. But I did not find a complete tutorial that is as complete and detailed as this video. Do you know a complete tutorial for the version with FIFO?
Hi, on your website "how to power an arduino", please do a VERY important addition. You need to note that the "Arduino Nano EVERY", that exact model, should not be powered through the 5V pin. Please add this crucial info so people dont damage their nano every.
Hey! Can you give a source for it so I can link back to the explanation of why it can't be done? Powering it via USB will also connect 5V from the USB directly to the Arduino bypassing the VIN pin's regulator. What is the fundamental difference that makes powering it from the 5V pin damaging to the Arduino?
The comment isn't in the "held for review" folder. Maybe RU-vid doesn't allow links in the comments at all. I selected "Always approve comments for this user" for you, which may help. Maybe you can replace all the dots in the domain name with spaces and try again?
Hi Indrek, nice project, super useful. Am planning to apply it for my final college project. Can you help creating the code to take a picture just when I tell the code to do it?
This helps me a lot. I wanna ask how could I set up sepecifed path for the captured images? Like make it automatically saved to my google drive? Thanks again for your big help!!
Hi @Indrek, I've Been Following Your Tutorial To Integrate OV7670 with my own Project but I'm Unable To Control Frames at Output (I want The Camera To Take a Picture When My Motion Sensor Detects Motion). Can You Please Help me Out a Little 😅
Thank you for the video. Will definitely try this. As an extension to this project, can you please show how to upload the images captured to google drive
I tried to do everything you mentioned here but when I installed the new ide (2.0), when I installed the libraries, when I upload the code, it says this(Compilation error: BufferedCameraOV7670_QQVGA_10hz.h: No such file or directory). but in the old ide it worked! ( just to note that after the new ide was installed the old ide cannot compile for uno anymore ) but anyway because it worked in the first place, i would like to thank you for the amazing content you upload.
Hello! I keep getting this error after connecting everything: Command checksum failed! 1. Check baud rate 2. Download the latest version of the Arduino code and the image capture program I do get the vsync after the green screen but then it turns into a repeated series of these messages. The baud rate is set at 50000 and I have downloaded the latest version from the link in the description box. All the connections are also correct
hello sir i am having problem in compiling the sketch the error says: error: no members matching 'Adafruit_GFX::drawRGBBitmap' in 'class Adafruit_GFX' please help
Hello Indrek, Thanks for the guide, I'm trying to read the image over serial from another computer and save it, do you have code to convert the raw data to an image file
Hello. I have converted and successfully received the images on python, but the rgb images seem to be very distorted, the frames arent being sent one by one, how do i alter my arduino code to add delimiters after each frame is sent
Hi, nicely done and super useful! I've been trying to set up the SD card reader, even though you've specifically said it'd be a waste, just to try to see what kind of performance is possible. However, I get stuck on getting the pins to not cause collisions. The SD card library I'm using (SdFat) wants to use hardware SPI (11,12,13), and this would be compatible with the TFT display, but D12 is used for the camera pixel clock (pclk). So long story short, I've been trying to change that pinout to D8 and move D/C to D12. In CameraOV7670.h I found these lines (concatenated): #include "Arduino.h" #include "CameraOV7670Registers.h" #define OV7670_PIXEL_CLOCK_PIN 12 #define OV7670_PIXEL_CLOCK (PINB & 0b00010000) // PIN 12 which I changed to: #define OV7670_PIXEL_CLOCK_PIN 8 #define OV7670_PIXEL_CLOCK (PINB & 0b00000001) // PIN 12 This doesn't seem to change anything. However, adding it to the top of "ExampleTftBufferedCameraFrame.cpp" does seem to work, but the frame just stays white and/or flickers. Do you have any information on how to address this problem? Is it possible to change the pin for pclk to D8? Thanks!
