4. Arduino & TimerCameraX - webcam examples just don't work

Arduino & TimerCameraX - webcam examples just don't work

  • J

    I'm trying to use a TimerCameraX with Arduino, with the latest versions of everything.

    Both of the Timer-CAM webcam examples (sta and ap) work for a little while, then become very intermittent, then stop delivering frames altogether.

    Are these examples meant to work correctly with the TimerCameraX ? Should I be looking somewhere else for decent examples ?

    Thanks,
    Richard

  • Hello @jarkman

    I assume you already have PSRAM enabled in your build, yes?

    BTW: Not sure why but changing the frame_size from FRAMESIZE_QVGA to the camera native FRAMESIZE_QXGA helped a lot.

    Thanks

    @felmue - thanks. I had PSRAM enabled but perhaps not the right partition scheme.

    I now have PSRAM enabled and I'm using the default partition scheme ('default 4MB with spiffs...').

    I see it

    • working with FRAMESIZE_QVGA (320x200)
    • working but frequently blocking for several seconds with FRAMESIZE_SVGA (800x600) as in the original sample
    • crashing instantly with FRAMESIZE_QXGA (2048x1536)

    Any thoughts ?

    thanks,
    Richard

    I am afraid I am out of ideas at this point in time. Sorry.

    Thanks
