Probably the best library for OV2640 camera on STM32 platform

Fully implementation library support OV2640 camera on STM32 platform

POC

🚀 Features

Support for resolutions:

  • 160X120px,
  • 320X240px,
  • 640X480px,
  • 800x600px,
  • 1024x768px,
  • 1280x960px,

Added support for extra special effects:

  • brightness,
  • saturation,
  • contrast,
  • light mode,
  • special effect such as: antique, bluish, greenish, reddish, black & white style, negative, Negative with black & white style and normal view.

Support for libjpeg library. Branch with example: https://github.com/SimpleMethod/STM32-OV2640/tree/Imageoptimization

Code optimization, now requires 10 times less space in buffer than before!

📚 Documentation

The maximum size of the data buffer is 65535 bytes and this is also the maximum size of a single DCMI read. For higher resolutions, you must use the circular buffer and write own implementation in HAL_DCMI_IRQHandler. XCLX is actually the clock output from the MCU (RCC_MCO_1). The minimum speed is around 27MHz, but as high as possible is recommended for correct functioning.

📚 Example use

1. Receive the data using a terminal or other software, default speed is set to 115200 baud.

2. Save the data dump to a file.

3. Open the file and search for the beginning of the JPEG header, it must be FFF8 value.

Open file and serach header

4. In the opened file search for the end of the data, this must be FFD9 value.

5. Open the hexadecimal editor. The example uses https://hexed.it/ and copy the data from the data dump.

Copy data from data dump to hexadecimal editor

6. Our data must start with FFD8 and end with FFD9.

7. Save and open the newly created file.

8. Now it's all depending on you.

💀 My code doesn't work, nothing happens, what to do?

You need to make sure that:

  1. Using short connection wires , less than 10 cm (3.93 inches) - This is very, very, very important!,
  2. All wires are properly connected,
  3. Have a high enough clock speed for the MCU,

Use 320x240px resolution for testing - it always works :-)
