Description

M5Camera-X is an image recognition development board that integrates the ESP32 (4M Flash + 520K RAM + 4M PSRAM) chip and a 2MP camera (OV2640). It supports WiFi image transmission and USB port debugging.

The hardware comes pre-installed with firmware, and it can be programmed and developed using ESP-IDF to run a WiFi-camera application. The default program outputs images at a resolution of 600 x 800, but you can optimize the program to output larger sizes.

How to use this program?

  • Turn on your phone's Wi-Fi, scan and connect to the AP hotspot named "m5stack-".
  • Open your phone's browser and visit 192.168.4.1 to access the monitoring page and get real-time video footage.
  • The video frame rate is approximately 5-6 frames per second.

Since the module can generate a WIFI hotspot AP, you can use a phone, PC, or other devices to wirelessly obtain camera images via WIFI, or you can obtain camera images via the module's HY2.0-4P interface. Currently, it can achieve webcam, color recognition, and face recognition functions.

The PIN8 (PDWN) of the OV2640 chip is the enable pin. In this board, it is enabled by a 12KΩ pull-down resistor to ground, entering the working mode. When PIN8 (PDWN) is pulled high, it will enter Camera Power Down mode.
