Problems connecting OV5640 camera to Nano

Hi, apologies in advance for the rookie question!

I would like to connect an OV5640 camera to an Arduino Nano.

There's a lot of info out there, but it all starts at too high a level for me.
What I need is the absolute minimum: Which pins on the camera do I connect to which pins on the nano, plus the least exciting code i.e. initialise and take a single photo.
(Ultimately, I would like to take photos at a variable interval and save them to a microSD card)

I have read:

I think I have a slightly different mounting, with details here:

I have found the ArduCAM code on github:

github.com

ArduCAM/Arduino/blob/master/ArduCAM/examples/ESP8266/ArduCAM_ESP8266_OV5640_Capture/ArduCAM_ESP8266_OV5640_Capture.ino

// ArduCAM Mini demo (C)2016 Lee
// web: http://www.ArduCAM.com
// This program is a demo of how to use most of the functions
// of the library with ArduCAM ESP8266 5MP camera.
// This demo was made for ArduCAM ESP8266 OV5640 5MP Camera.
// It can take photo and send to the Web.
// It can take photo continuously as video streaming and send to the Web.
// The demo sketch will do the following tasks:
// 1. Set the camera to JEPG output mode.
// 2. if server.on("/capture", HTTP_GET, serverCapture),it can take photo and send to the Web.
// 3.if server.on("/stream", HTTP_GET, serverStream),it can take photo continuously as video 
//streaming and send to the Web.

// This program requires the ArduCAM V4.0.0 (or later) library and ArduCAM ESP8266 5MP camera
// and use Arduino IDE 1.5.8 compiler or above
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <WiFiClient.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>
#include <Wire.h>

If anyone can help get me started, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!
