Arduino Camera

This document provides instructions for uploading sample source code to an Arduino Uno board to send image data from an OV7670 camera module to a computer. It describes connecting the camera module to the Arduino, installing necessary software and libraries on the computer, and running a Java program to capture images from the camera to a designated folder. The instructions also provide troubleshooting tips for issues with recognizing libraries, finding or receiving scrambled images.

This sample source code is originally from this link.

Download
this sample source code, open it on your Arduino IDE, connect
your Arduino Uno Board to your computer and upload it. Select
the correct board and port before uploading this source code.
Refer image above for help.
NOTE : Don't mind that it does not recognize some libraries in
the beginning of the file. If it bothers you, comment the whole
line out with //

This is a version of code that sends data to the PC.

Unlike previous code this requires no external ram or fifo.
It just sends the data as it receives it.
The transfer rate is 1 mbps or 128kbytes per second
Connections
Order Arduino ov7670
A5->SIOC
A4<->SIOD
Note what I have just described (above) are I2C connections you will
need pullup resistors to 3.3v for both SIOC and SIOD.
You must not connect the resistors to 5v.
I have found that certain resistor values do not work such as 1K and
2.2K but found 4.7K and 10K to work.
11-> (convert 5v to 3.3v) XCLK
A0<-0
A1<-1
A2<-2
A3<-3
4<-4
5<-5
6<-6
7<-7
3<-VSYNC
2<-PCLK
GND->PWDN
3.3->RESET
GND->GND
3.3v->3.3v
Depending on what port number your Arduino is connected to,
download the corresponding file. COM1 = com_1.rar , COM2 =
com_2.rar and etc. Open your com#.rar on WinRaR,
extract/copy the 'code' folder from com_#.rar, go to Local Disk
> Program Files > Java > jdk1.8.0_74 > bin and paste it there.
you can refer the picture above for a better understanding.
You have to create a new folder on your c drive / Local Disk (C:). This will be your
camera module sensor's taken picture's destination. Name this folder as out (it could
be anything though).

Step 8: Extra.rar
1. Download and extract the Extra.rar file below and open it. As
you could see, there is src folder, lib folder and "win32com.dll".
You have to copy and placed "win32com.dll" in the "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\jre\bin" directory.
2. Then, open the lib and you could see the "comm.jar" and
"javax.comm.properties" in it. Copy and paste the "comm.jar"
in "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\jre\lib\ext" and
"javax.comm.properties" in the "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\jre\lib" directory.
NOTE : it may ask for administrator permission, just proceed
anyway.
Open cmd and open the folder wherein the code folder is by
writing its address. mine is "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\bin". Click enter and it will give u
"C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\bin>". Now, write "java
code.SimpleRead". It supposed to be like this---> C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_74\bin>java code. SimpleRead. You can refer
image for help.
You can see the picture taken from your OV7670 Camera
Module Sensor in your our folder in c drive.
1. If your cmd cannot find images, try switching the USB of the
arduino from a USB2.0 to a USB3.0 (blue socket) or vice versa.
2 If you receive scrambles pictures, you need to edit the
sample source code. Edit line: wrReg(0x11, 12); try changing
the 12 to 11/10/9/13. Upload it to the arduino and run the cmd
code again.
