Arduino Due + SD Card + OV7670 Camera

Projects General Guidance

Hello everyone,

I'm working on a small class project. the project is two obstacle sensors two measure the speed of the object passing by if its too fast the camera will take a picture and save it on SD Card and the GSM module will send an SMS message to a number

Now i finished with the speed measurement and SMS message functions now im trying to get this damn camera to work havent even gotten to the SD part and i really need help.

I followed this guide https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Connect-OV7670-to-Arduino-Due/ step by step and at the end it wont work the CMD just says "Looking for Image" but this tutorial shows how it saves on the computer and i dont want that i want it on the SD Card. If anyone knows how to do it please help this is driving me insane.

Thank you.

That's not a small project in my opinion. Well done soo faar!
Try to cut down the troubeling last part in smaller parts. Make initializing work, start up, some simple accesses and so on. What do You Think?

There is a library for another camera (snapshot plus log picture on a SD card).

Provided :

  • you comment the softwareSerial lines as indicated in .cpp and .h files because the DUE has hardware serial1,

  • you save .cpp and .h files directly in your Prog folder and #include "...cpp" and #include "....h" instead of #include <...cpp> #include <...h>, the example sketch (snapshot) at least compiles on a DUE board.

I didn't test it though since I don't have this camera.
