6.What problems are you experiencing?
- I have a Arducam 5MP Plus OV5642 Mini Module Camera Shield SPI Camera Module for Arduino UNO Mega2560 Board
And I have it connected to my Arduino Mega2560 Board
(I tried connecting it to my Uno to run one of the example sketches but it said the sketch was too big - so I switched to the Mega)
- I have wired the camera as per the instructions that came with the camera.
CS - Digital 7
MOSI - Digital 11
MISO - Digital 12
SCK - Digital 13
GND - GND
VCC - 5V
SDA - SDA
SCL - SCL
- I changed the <memorysaver.h> file to the correct shield
#define OV5642_MINI_5MP_PLUS
and left everything commented out
-
I am able to load the example ArduCAM_Mini_5MP_OV5642_Plus_Functions onto the Mega without getting any errors
-
And I made sure that the lens cap is not on
HOWEVER
When I access the ArduCam Host App V2, I am not able to get any images from the camera! It says the connection is open but I don’t get any other feedback.
I’m not very good at physical computing and I need some help trying to solve this problem. I don’t know what I’m missing. It’s probably something very small and simple that I have overlooked and I would really appreciate the help.
Please let me know if you need me to post more information.
Thanks!
