Seeedstudio, Grove - Serial Camera Kit demo code

Grove - Serial Camera Kit

Grove - Serial Camera Kit includes one control board and two interchangeble lenses, one is standard lens and the other is wide-angle lens. It's a great camera for Arduino centered image recognition projects, because 30W pixel wouldn't be overwhelming for Arduino, so that real-time image recognition is possible. To make it more fun and playable, lenses of two specs are shipped in this kit. The standard one is for common photo shots and the wide-angle one is specially suitable for monitoring projects.

Specifications:

• Input Voltage: 5V
• Pixel: 300,000
• Resolution: 640*480, 320*240, 160*120
• Uart Baud Rate: 9600~115200
• Communication: RS485 and RS232
• Photo JPEG compression, high, medium and low grades Optional
• AGC
• Auto Exposure Event Control
• Automatic White Balance Control
• Focus adjustable

Usage:

This code include two examples which can show you how to use the kit.

grove_serial_camera_kit's Issues

Camera uart baud rate

Camera not responds when I adjust its uart baud rate upper than 9600
Just wondering why...?

sd init failed all time

every time I try to boot sd card it returns me an error after multiple always imposible to detect test
I branchementou verify the insertion of the card or formatting

initializing time is too long and it seem that never stop

I refer your source ，and do some modify，but it struck in the step of initializing，I try so hard but can't find the reason ，I really hope you can help me to fix this problem，I will do whatever I got to assist to fix this Issues

"initializing camera..." NEVER ENDS

I use sd card shield, I try with two new serial camera kits...
thanks in advance

Is there a complete datasheet for this camera?

The code is helpful yet not comprehensive. I am stuck trying to use my computer to send command (through serial, or wifi) to control the camera.

error in IDE Arduino 1.5.6-r2

include <SPI.h>

please insert "#include <SPI.h>" into the code of <<SerialCameral_DemoCode_CJ_OV528.ino>>

it works fine....

error:

when i use TF card, SD.begin(10) will return error~~~

just replace that with "SD.begin(4)", it will work fine~~~ ^___^

Resolution is very LOW.

I used to your Demo code,but have a problem.

The Photo's Resolution is very LOW !!!

and picTotalLen Mostly in 7xxx to 12xxx

I also have to replace the camera lens.

How do I solve it.

problem with seeduino

hi i attached the shield on arduino uno it works ok ,but when i put it on seeduino lora gps version i get nothing ? and also i get this error

WARNING: library SPI claims to run on (samd) architecture(s) and may be incompatible with your current board which runs on (Seeeduino_SAMD) architecture(s).

any ideas ?

It does'nt connect with arduino wifi rev2

Thanks for watch my Issues. I need your help. I making for work must use Grove_Serial_Camera_Kit with arduino wifi rev2.
I complied is not worng when I check Serial monitor the first error are SD card failed.

So I reference this page for check my SD card.
https://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=587215.0

result of reference it doesn't problem with my sdcard shield.

but I have new problem about camera module because is doesn't connect with my arduino wifi rev2.

how can I solution about this problem? Thanks for see my article.
