Learn

The hardware comes pre-installed with firmware, developed using ESP-IDF, and runs a WiFi-camera application. The default program outputs an image size of 600 x 800, which can be optimized to output larger sizes.

How to use this program?

  • Turn on your phone's Wi-Fi, scan and connect to the AP hotspot starting with "m5stack-".
  • Open your phone's browser and visit 192.168.4.1 to access the monitoring page and get real-time video.
  • The video frame rate is approximately 5-6 frames per second.

Since the module can generate a WIFI hotspot AP, you can use a phone, PC, or other devices to wirelessly obtain camera images via WIFI, or you can obtain camera images via the module's HY2.0-4P interface.

The PIN8 (PDWN) of the OV2640 chip is the enable pin, which is pulled down to ground via a 12KΩ resistor on this board to enable it, entering working mode. When PIN8 (PDWN) is pulled high, it will enter Camera Power Down mode.
