In your new book EP32-CAM you reference two M5Stack cameras as camera “A” and camera “B”. You show the label on back of each camera. Are these old EOL cameras as M5Stack does not have any current cameras with those labels. They have a fisheye called camera “F” and standard lens called camera “X”. The “F” camera uses the parameters you show for camera “A” and the parameters you show for camera B can be used for camera “X”.
I like to use these cameras connected to M5Core2 and a sensor such as PIR. So, I have the BOT code on the camera and PIR on port C of Core2. I talk to BOT, BOT talks to camera and Core2 with nice display of what is going on talks to camera.

Let me correct this – It appears both the X and F cameras can use what you show for camera “A”.

Hi.
It’s probably a new name that they gave to the newest models of the cameras.
Can you show me a link to that camera that you have?
Regards,

ESP32 PSRAM Timer Camera X (OV3660) | m5stack-store

Scroll down and click on Documents which will provide specifics for camera.

FYI I was trying to place a large M5Stack order prior to May 2 when tariffs go way up but message popped up that they could not ship to my address. Not sure if this was glitch in their system or a temporary U.S block. So placed order with DigiKey, Same price but 10% tariff. We’re a mess right now.

Just received mail from M5Stack 0615 DEST.
Hi Donnie,
Unfortunately, due to the US tariff policy, we are temporarily unable to ship to the US.
Have a nice day.
Best regards,
Riker Zhu

Hi.
That camera seems similar to the ones we recommend in the eBook, but it comes with a built-in RTC.
It seems a great camera with low power consumption.
So, if you’re interested and you can get one, it seems a good option.
 
Regards,
Sara
