**EDIT: [SOLVED]**The problem turned out to be the schematic that I used, the I2C bus was not working so nothing was being written to the camera registers. I read that there are on-board I2C pull-ups to 5V on Mega that's why in the schematic it uses the level converter for I2C but I didn't really understand the configuration tbh.
Anyways, I just used 10K pull-up resistors to 3.3V and it's all working fine now.
Hi, I'm having trouble with operating OV7670 camera(without FIFO) on Arduino Mega2560, I initially had it working on Arduino Uno but due to needing extra I/Os for other components I made the jump to Mega2560. I had to slightly modify the code I used for Uno so it can work on Mega too, I have managed to at least receive images(attached) but it's still not really working as it's just giving me rubbish.
I haven't put the whole code here and skipped the initial parts that I'm quite sure works on both Uno and Mega.
The only changes I have made in the code are related to the new location of the camera pins since I moved them when I decided to use Mega and replaced the original PWM code with another one that works on Mega. Link to the original code is at the bottom of this post. Is it the TWI functions not working on Mega thus failing to write to camera registers ?
These are the wiring:
21 -(level shift)-> SIOC
20 <-(level shift)-> SIOD
46 -(level shift)-> XCLK
30 <- D7
31 <- D6
32 <- D5
33 <- D4
34 <- D3
35 <- D2
36 <- D1
37 <- D0
26 <- VSYNC
28 <- PCLK
GND -> PWDN
3.3v -> RESET
GND -> GND
3.3v -> 3V3
