ESP32-S3 Camera Example

[m.salmankhalid29]

Hi, ESP32-S3 has a dedicated camera peripheral which uses DVP interface. I am not able to find any example of using this peripheral in the SDK examples. Can someone explain where it could be or if it is even available.

Oh, it was so informative! Thank you for redirecting to another non-informative page. I searching for days on how phisically to connect my camera, and see only answers like this

You are responding to a topic where someone asks for a software example, and you're angry the answer is a software example rather than how to physically connect the camera? I'm confused. If you need help connecting your camera, why not start a topic asking for exactly that?

Despite that topic starter asked for software example and got his answer - the connection defined in Initialisation section https://github.com/espressif/esp32-came ... ialization
Camera interface has 8 bit parallel bus defined there as D0-D7, sync signal, parallel clock signal, href and some kind of i2c interface for camera control (XCLK, SIOD, SIOC) all mentioned in this code example in super informative way with GPIO pins of ESP32, the "-1" means not connected. Some cameras has 10bit bus etc, but can work in 8 bit as popular ov2640.

I adapted the timelapse code from ESP32-CAM to also work with ESP32-S3-Wroom1 CAM (with PSRAM enabled)
I also identified the SD card pins for timelapse snapshots to be written to SD card.

You can try my code below, only tested with the ESP32-S3 WROOM N16R8 from ali*, not sure for other variants.
