This library contains the necessary firmware and source code to enable the OV5640 autofocus mode on the ESP32.
Each manufacturer of OV5640 has slightly different specifications. Please check with your product first. The product I used is Waveshare's OV5640. https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/OV5640_Camera_Board_(C)
You need to install the ESP32 core libraries. The install instructions for your specific OS are here: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32
From Arduino IDE, go to menu Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries... In Library Manager Window, search "OV5640" in the search form then select "OV5640 Auto Focus for ESP32 Camera" Click "Install" button.
Download zip file from this repository by selecting the green "Code" dropdown at the top of repository, select "Download ZIP" From Arduino IDE, select menu Sketch -> Include Library -> Add .ZIP Library...
Or use git:
cd ~/arduino/libraries/
git clone [email protected]:0015/ESP32-OV5640-AF.git
Then you should see the examples and be able to include the library in your projects with:
#include "ESP32_OV5640_AF.h"
This works like a standard Arduino library. Here's a minimal example:
// Create an object from OV5640 class at the top of your sketch
OV5640 ov5640 = OV5640();
// To start OV5640, neet to pass the pointer of the esp camera sensor
sensor_t* sensor = esp_camera_sensor_get();
ov5640.start(sensor);
// Download Firmware for AF
if (ov5640.focusInit() == 0) {
Serial.println("OV5640_Focus_Init Successful!");
}
// Set Continuous AF MODE
if (ov5640.autoFocusMode() == 0) {
Serial.println("OV5640_Auto_Focus Successful!");
}
See the OV5640_Console_Test example for a more fully-featured example.
To use the AF function of the OV5640 on the ESP32 AI-Thinker board, you need to connect 3.3v to the last 24th pin(AF-VCC). I share what I've been working on. You can also see how AF works.
- v0.1.1
- Only Added CONTINUOUS AUTOFOCUS Mode
