M5StickC Plus and Unit Cam Wi-Fi Camera (OV2640)

MoodyGeorge

Hello,

I'm struggling to make it work together. I can't find any information about how to make it work. Is the Unit Cam working with M5StickC Plus ? I can see that it is greyed in the UIFlow but I don't have any info about why.
Can someone help me getting more info about them working together or why the cam module in UIFlow is greyed ?

Thanks

Hello @MoodyGeorge

afaik M5StickCPlus and unit cam do not work together. Possible reasons:

unit cam returns a jpeg picture, but M5StickCPlus library doesn't support / implement jpeg functions
unit cam returns a picture with size 320x240, but M5StickCPlus display is only 240x135

I am not saying it is not possible, but it seems it has not been adapted for M5StickCPlus as I cannot find an Arduino example nor is it available in UIFlow (hence greyed out). Sorry.

Thanks
Felix

@felmue so I’d assume that this is the same reason you can’t use it with Core2 Either?

Hello @HWTaro9

according to this post you can at least use it with M5Core2 using Arduino.
