ESP32 UNO Board for Arducam Mini Camera Module
Manufacturer   ArduCam
Item Weight   0.8 ounces
first available   April 25,2016
Price   $14.99
ASIN   B013JUKZ48

Arducam now released an ESP32 based Arduino board for Arducam mini camera modules while keeping the same form of factors and pinout as the standard Arduino UNO R3 board. The highlight of this ESP32 board is that it well mates with Arducam mini 2MP and 5MP camera modules, supports Lithium battery power supply and recharging and with build-in SD card slot. It can be an ideal solution for home security and IoT camera applications.

When get.exe finishes, you should see the following files in the directory

Figure 7 ESP32 board directory  Plug your ESP32 board and wait for the drivers to install (or install manually any that might be required)


Step2:Using Arduino IDE

After installation of Arducam ESP32UNO board, you can select this board from the Tool->Board menu. And there several ready to use examples from the File->Examples->ArduCAM. You can use these examples directly or as a starting point to develop your own code.  Start Arduino IDE, Select your board in Tools > Board menu> Figure 8 Board Selection


 Select the example from File->Examples->ArduCAM Figure 6 Example Selection

 Configure the camera setting You need to modify the memorysaver.h file in order to enable OV2640 or OV5642 camera for ArduCAM Mini 2MP or 5MP camera modules. Only one camera can be enabled at a time. The memorysaver.h file is located at C:\Users\[YOUR_USER_NAME]\Documents\Arduino\hardware\ ArduCAM \ArduCAM_ESP32S_UNO\libraries\ArduCAM
