Hello, last week I bought this camera: CMOS Camera Module OV7670 Display + FIFO AL422 / AL422B because I wanted to know how to use it in Arduino. I’ve been looking for some information about how to program it, but I haven’t found anything helpful. Is there anyone in this forum that knows about it and can help me, please?

Thank you

There is a posting about this my MrArduino

if you search the forum for OV7670 you will find it.

However it will also depend on what version of the camera module you bought.

I recently bought one like you describe from eBay, and its a new type with extra pins and I have not been able to find any documentation and the eBay supplier didn't realise it was different, and could not supply the correct data sheet etc

Basically these modules are not easy to use, in hindsight I should have bought a serial JPEG type camera module as they are much easier to use

Are these any help?

I found them by Googling Arduino OV7670 .

I dont think those are the main threads

This one is quite useful,

But there is another one about the FIFO version of the camera, however I can't track it down at the moment
