I have a Cheap Yellow Display (CYD) using LVGL and an ESSP32s Camera. I've been searching the internet to find an example of displaying the ESP32s Camera on the CYD screen. I have the CYD in the living area and the camera at the front door. I want to be able to see the person at the door on the CYD. Does anyone have any sample code or know of a site that has an example on it?
I have a few ESP32s controlling 240V appliances around the house using the WiFi on the CYD and ESP32s as server and clients. They work quite well. This is the first camera I have bought and was looking forward to playing with it but it seems that not many people seem to want to do much with them from what I've seen on the net so far. But I could be mistaken.
Any help would be appreciated and Thank You in advance.
Do you mean how can you see video and pictures on a web page connected to a camera? The esp32cam has that app as an example in the hardware section of examples, see pic. As far as your OP, put that code on an esp32cam and connect the CYD to another esp32 that has the example webserver code running. It will need some minor changes to use the right IP, which is probably best done via static IPs set up on your router.
I asked me the same question today.
I don't have a solution, but I have an approach that perhaps could work.
In the Github documentation for CYD there is an example “ ESP32-TV ".
The author uses the ffmpeg library to convert the video files on the SD card for display on the CYD.
My idea is that it should be possible to adapt the example and use the ffplay function in ffmpeg (there is a section on streaming in the documentation).
But that's just a first thought - see above: I'm also looking.
and Thank You in advance.
