So the UTFT4ArduCAM_SPI library is only needed when using the ArduCAM-LF model. The UTFT4ArduCAM_SPI library is modified version of UTFT which is written by Henning Karlsen. The existing examples are plug and play without need to write a single line of code. There is also an example directory inside the ArduCAM library which illustrates mostįunction of the ArduCAM shields. It contains supported image sensor drivers and user land API functions which issue capture or image data read commands. The ArduCAM library is the core library for ArduCAM shields. These two libraries should be copied right under the libraries of Arduino directory in order to be recognized by the Arduino IDE.
The basic libraries are composed by two sub-libraries one is ArduCAM and the other is UTFT4ArduCAM_SPI. Note: ArduCAM library for ESP8266 is maintained in another repository ESP8266 using a json board manager script. In addition to Arduino, the library can be ported to any hardware platforms as long as they have I2C and SPI interface based on this ArduCAM library. The camera breakout boards should work with ArduCAM shield before connecting to the Arduino boards.ĪrduCAM mini series camera modules like Mini-2MP, Mini-5MP(Plus) can be connected to Arduino boards directly. This is a opensource library for taking high resolution still images and short video clip on Arduino based platforms using ArduCAM's camera moduels.
