ESP32-CAM support

[Geoide]

Hello.

Is there some support to the ESP32-CAM. I would like to watch the video from this device to a ILI9341 TFT LCD Screen Display but I can't find the way to.

Thanks.

Hi @Geoide!

To the best of my knowledge, no one has worked with the Moddable SDK on the ESP32-CAM development kit specifically. But we have worked with a lot of the same pieces.

The OV2640 camera hardware module on the ESP32-CAM is the same module as is used in our Arducam module and examples (e.g. arducampreview. I have also done some work with the same camera module included in the Kaluga kit. So, it should definitely be possible to get working.

The main variation among places where the OV2640 shows up is on how the camera module is wired. And that's where I'm a little fuzzy on the ESP32-CAM board... Do you happen to have a preferred reference on how the camera module is connected to the ESP32 on the ESP32-CAM board? I've seen a fair number of references to working with the ESP32-CAM as an external module running the built-in firmware. But less about how to interact with the camera itself using ESP-IDF code running on the ESP32-CAM's ESP32. If we could pull together all of that information, I can make a more concrete recommendation about how to proceed.
