Product Information
The ESP32 Camera Module (SBC-ESP32-Cam) is a product designed for capturing and streaming images and videos. It can be programmed using the Arduino IDE and requires a USB to TTL converter for communication. The module features various pins for power, communication, and interface connections. The module is manufactured by Joy-it and further information can be found on their website: www.joy-it.net
Dear customer,
thank you very much for choosing our product. In the following, we will
introduce you to what to observe while starting up and using this product.
Should you encounter any unexpected problems during use, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
PINOUT
The following pins are internally connected to the SD card slot:
- IO14: CLK
- IO15: CMD
- IO2: Data 0
- IO4: Data 1 (also connected to the on-board LED)
- IO12: Data 2
- IO13: Data 3
To put the device into flash mode, IO0 must be connected to GND.
SETTING UP THE DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT
You can program the camera module using the Arduino IDE. If you do not have the IDE installed on your computer, you can download it here. After you have installed the development environment, you can open it to prepare you for using the camera module.
Go to zu File - > Preferences
Add the URL: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json under
Additional Board Manager URLs. Multiple URLs can be separated with a comma
.
Now go to Tools -> Board -> Boards Manager…
Enter esp32 in the search bar and install the ESP32 board manager
Now you can select under Tools -> Board -> ESP 32 Arduino, the board AI
Thinker ESP32-CAM.
You can now start programming your module.
As the module does not have a USB port, you will have to use a USB to TTL
converter. For example the SBC-TTL interface converter from Joy-it. When using
it, you must make sure that the jumper is in position 3V3.
You must use the following pin assignment.
You also need to connect a ground pin of your camera module to the IO0 pin to
upload your programme. You have to remove this connection when the upload is
finished. When uploading, you have to restart your camera module once with the
reset button as soon as “Connecting…….” appears in the debug window be-low
.
EXAMPLE PROGRAM CAMERAWEBSERVER
To open the sample program CameraWebServer click on File -> Examples -> ESP32 -> Camera -> CameraWebServer
Now you must first select the correct camera module (CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER)
and comment the other modules with //, as shown in the picture below. You also
need to enter the SSID and password of your WiFi network.
When this step is also done, you can upload the program to your camera module.
In the serial monitor, if you have set the correct baud rate of 115200, you
can see the IP address of your web server.
You must enter the displayed IP address in your Internet browser to access the
web server.
