M5Stack - M5Camera OV2640 with mainline ?

Post by jedie » Wed Jan 29, 2020 1:05 pm

Has somebody tried interfacing to the OV2640 camera from mainline MicroPython?

The M5Camera is just a ESP32 (4M Flash + 520K RAM) with the 2-Megapixel carmera OV2640 and these sensors:
  • 9-axis gyroscope (MPU6050)
    pressure sensor (BME280)
    Digital silicon microphone (SPM1423)
And this in one case with USB type-C and the GROVE Port: https://docs.m5stack.com/#/en/unit/m5camera

The MPU6050 is a 6DOF sensor: it doesn't have a magnetometer. The MPU9050 is the 9DOF version.

I would think installing MicroPython would be straightforward, and there are existing drivers for the MPU6050 and BME280. The challenge would be writing a driver for the camera.
