OV7670 Picture Output RAW RGB

Projects Programming

Hello,
I`m kinda new to this forum, so please forgive me any mistakes I do. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I want to know how the OV7670-camera module saves its pictures.

Here is the direct Link
OV7670

Datasheet
This datasheet says the output format is RAW RGB Data.

Are there any guides that explain my questions, if so, I would be happy with a link. :grinning:

Since the resolution is 640x480, I imagine an array will be created for every pixel and within the color code.
If so, in what format is the color? Hexadecimal?

Thank you in advance!

Perhaps take a look at how code for the ESP32-CAM handles interfacing with the camera module. Or, even simpler, just buy and ESP32-CAM.

Alright, thank you.
I guess I figured something out.

The are some examples available on the web that transfer a still image to a PC for display. You could look at the Arduino code for those to see what format the data is in.

Another website I found says that the data can be read out in various formats: Output support for Raw RGB, RGB (GRB 4:2:2, RGB565/555/444), YUV (4:2:2) and YCbCr (4:2:2) formats
