Re: ESP32Cam and Servo Control

> RC wasnt slow / inaccurate > I just tested a newly arrived ESP32-CAM module, and the FCameraWebServer reported framerates were much less than with my current working ESP32-CAM module. It turned out to be Wifi problems, since after I added an external Wifi antenna to the new ESP32-CAM module framer...

Re: ESP32Cam and Servo Control

If the HTML RC wasnt slow / inaccurate i would fly copters with it. That is a good point, I will have to build in a heartbeat signal between intex.html(browser) and app_httpd.cpp(ESP32) and let the ESP32 do "full stop" automatically when no heartbeat received, at least for the 5m/s caterpillar robo...

Re: ESP32Cam and Servo Control

... I'd like to use the ESP32Cam to be able to control it's own Pan/Tilt mount that ... Different camera (Raspberry camera), and only tilt calibration (my camera has no Pan). But the automatic calibration code in this posting might be interesting/useful to you with ESP32-CAM as well: https://www.ra...

Re: ESP32-CAM ov2640 exposure control/FREX mode

Today I finished "shots" and "5shots" implementation in addition to "shot" in doit: https://github.com/Hermann-SW/Raspberry_v1_camera_global_external_shutter/commit/15e8ad7923e0a01e6d4b15ff815cb50d5bff3655 I tested that all three effects work on GPIO4 (connected to builtin ESP32-CAM flash light) as ...

Re: ESP32-CAM ov2640 exposure control/FREX mode

I determined that VSYNC signal (GPIO25 per camera_pins.h) is exposed on pin18 of ov2640 flat ribbon cable connector. I did take a logic analyzer capture of CIF mode streaming (400x296) because that was discussed in datasheet. Again I used Raspberry camera as big magnifying glass (HDMI monitor) in or...

Re: ESP32-CAM ov2640 exposure control/FREX mode

I am baffled, just played with the last version of FCameraWebServer and reduced builtin camera flash time to only 50µs: https://stamm-wilbrandt.de/en/forum/ov2640.global_shutter_done_menu.png I took 800x600 frames as before and got this frame without haveing changed code nor having done anything wit...

Re: ESP32-CAM ov2640 exposure control/FREX mode

I learned how to pass vsync pin define from FCameraWebServer.ino to app_httpd.cpp, just store into global variable. And I eliminated need for "Serial.printf()" of count variable, just declaring it volatile prevents compiler optimizing code away. Finally I made sure that now more than one full frame ...

No need for a battery if you are good with hand generator -- but you are not allowed to stop ;-)

Re: ESP32-CAM ov2640 exposure control/FREX mode

Added and wired in new "Wait for VSYNC" toggle: https://github.com/Hermann-SW/Raspberry_v1_camera_global_external_shutter/commit/45d6f36b576b75bba79cee3b7c5160a24bdd7851 Gives recreatable results most of the time -- will have to understand why not always. I was victim of "compiler optimizing away st...

Re: ESP32-CAM ov2640 exposure control/FREX mode

Any try to attach an ISR (interrupt service routine) to GPIO25 (VSYNC_GPIO_NUM for ESP32-CAM module) resulted in FCameraWebserver starting, connecting to WLAN and emitting connected messages to Serial, and then immediately rebooting. So I ended up doing poor mans copy of GPIO25 to GPIO16 in order to...
