capture_stream

Example of the component espressif/esp_video v0.6.0

Capture Stream Example

This example demonstrates the following:

  • How to initialize esp_video with specific parameters
  • How to open video device and capture data stream from this device

How to use example

Hardware Required

1. MIPI-CSI Development Kit

  • A ESP32-P4 development board with MIPI-CSI interface
  • A SC2336 camera sensor
  • A USB Type-C cable for power supply and programming

2. DVP Development Kit

  • A ESP32-P4 development board with DVP interface
  • A OV2640 camera sensor
  • A USB Type-C cable for power supply and programming

Build and Flash

Configure camera hardware data interface based on development kit:

MIPI-CSI Development Kit

Plaintext

Example Configuration  --->
    [*] Enable MIPI CSI Camera Sensor
    [ ] Enable DVP Camera Sensor

Component config  --->
    Espressif Camera Sensors Configurations  --->
        [ ] OV2640  --->
        [*] SC2336  ----

DVP Development Kit

Plaintext

Example Configuration  --->
    [ ] Enable MIPI CSI Camera Sensor
    [*] Enable DVP Camera Sensor

Component config  --->
    Espressif Camera Sensors Configurations  --->
        [*] OV2640  --->
        [ ] SC2336  ----

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

Plaintext

idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the ESP-IDF Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

Running this example, you will see the following log output on the serial monitor:
