Hi all,
Does anyone have an example of using the camera on the
ESP-EYE: ESP32-based board.
What I am looking for is to be able to use the camera part for live streaming or periodic picture capturing.
Thanks

Hi. The example that DK suggested should work: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-cam-video-streaming-face-recognition-arduino-ide/

If you use the official CameraWebServer code example, you can make it work with the ESP-EYE board

But, you’ll have to use the official code that comes with your arduino IDE examples folder.(https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/master/libraries/ESP32/examples/Camera/CameraWebServer)

In the CameraWebServer.ino file, you’ll have to uncomment the ESP-EYE board definition:

// Select camera model
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT
#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP_EYE
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_PSRAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_WIDE
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER

That should work for you.

Let me know if you need further help.

Regards,
Sara
