Arducam 2MP doesn't work with Nucleo64

Post by mebab »

Hi
The example of ArduCAM_Mini_Capture2SD works fine with Arduino. It takes photos and saves them on an SD card. However, it doesn't work with Nucleo64 that offers the same pins as Arduino! It stops at the following command:

Code: Select all

while(!myCAM.get_bit(ARDUCHIP_TRIG , CAP_DONE_MASK));
Utilized pin numbers are correct and changing the CPU frequency didn't help. Is it a library problem? what library is suitable to use with my STM32 Nucleo64?

Any help is really appreciated.

Here is the code:

Code: Select all

// ArduCAM demo (C)2017 Lee
// Web: http://www.ArduCAM.com
// This program is a demo of how to use most of the functions
// of the library with a supported camera modules, and can run on any Arduino platform.
//
// This demo was made for Omnivision 2MP/5MP sensor.
// It will run the ArduCAM 2MP/5MP as a real 2MP/5MP digital camera, provide both JPEG capture.
// The demo sketch will do the following tasks:
// 1. Set the sensor to JPEG mode.
// 2. Capture and buffer the image to FIFO every 5 seconds 
// 3. Store the image to Micro SD/TF card with JPEG format in sequential.
// 4. Resolution can be changed by myCAM.set_JPEG_size() function.
// This program requires the ArduCAM V4.0.0 (or later) library and ArduCAM 2MP/5MP shield
// and use Arduino IDE 1.6.8 compiler or above
#include <ArduCAM.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <SD.h>
#include "memorysaver.h"

//This demo can only work on OV2640_MINI_2MP or OV5642_MINI_5MP or OV5642_MINI_5MP_BIT_ROTATION_FIXED platform.

Hi @mebab

I never tested with Arducam.
Which Arducam you try ?

Thanks. It is ARDUCam mini OV2640 2MP.

Perhaps you can try further following the guidelines posted on Arducam.com:

Thanks @hobbya. That is prepared for the specific STM32L1 and employs Keil to run the program that I am not familiar with. I use Arduino IDE to program my NucleoL64.
