1.Which seller did you purchase the product(s) from?

2.The Model number of the product(s) you have purchased?

3.Which Platform are you using the product(s) on?

4.Which instruction are you following?

5.Has your product ever worked properly?

6.What problems are you experiencing?
I purchased Arduino Tiny Machine Learning Kit from Arduino which includes OV5642 camera shield (Arducam-M-5MP). The platform is Arduino Nano 33 BLE. I followed the steps of https://www.arducam.com/docs/spi-cameras-for-arduino/software/quick-start-guide/.

Modified memorysaver.h as

#define OV5642_MINI_5MP_PLUS

use example “ArduCAM_Mini_5MP_OV5642_Plus_Functions”. Compiled and uploaded the stetch.

Then use ArduCAM_Host_V2 to check. I always got the following error: Can’t find OV5642 module!

Versions used: Arduino 1.8.13.

Please help! Thanks.
7.What attempts at troubleshooting have you already made?

8.How would you like us to help you?

I got some progress. In ArduCAM_Host_V2 I got the following message:

COM is open!

Set to Advanced_AWB

switch to OV5642_320x240

ArduCAM single

CAM start single shoot.

CAM Capture Done.

But the picture inside ArduCAM_Host_V2_View4 is black with grey at bottom.

Hi,

You can try to shorten the length of the SPI wire or reduce the SPI speed for testing.
