ESP32 Forum

I wanted to ask question which is bit Off topic , Here is Question :

I am planning to use OV2640 module with ESP-32 ? But before using it , I wanted to know what is the file size of image received from OV2640 when resolution is set to 320 * 240 ( JPEG mode ) .


IT would be a great help for me , if you could help me out in this ??

Depends on compression ratio and level of detail in image, but for an order of magnitude; 10-30kB

Sincere Thanks Pibbotley ,for looking into my issue & solving it .

I just wanted to know , how did you calculate or come to that conclusion or any source where you got that info .
I wanted to know more about OV2640 , it would be good to have those details as well .

IT would be great if you could provide me those details as well .

Again Thank You so much ...

I tried an ov2640 with my wrover dev kit. Its only worth using jpeg mode. Working with raw images is too much hassle so don't bother with the ov7670. You must have short solid connections to avoid any noise, even so its still a bit flaky. Missing a single bit in a jpeg capture will lose the whole frame which is easily done if a clock cycle gets skipped, so capture as slow and compressed as possible, and avoid doing other stuff in parallel. But the esp32 is much better than the single core esp8266 in this respect.
