  5. Problems you were having?

I’m trying to change the resolution of a OV5647 camera using the arducam USB3 shield to get a faster framerate. Unfortunately, I still can’t figure out how to do this. Using the GUI, I can make the camera work just fine using the config files that are given. But, as soon as I try to change the resolution, I get “Bad frame received”.

Looking at the OV5647 documentation, I should be able to change the resolution by setting the image windowing register, which have these default values:
REG = 0x3800, 0x00
REG = 0x3801, 0x0c
REG = 0x3802, 0x00
REG = 0x3803, 0x04
REG = 0x3804, 0x0a
REG = 0x3805, 0x33
REG = 0x3806, 0x07
REG = 0x3807, 0xa3

When I try to change any of those values using the GUI, nothing works anymore. Is there something I’m missing?
