// This is a basic snapshot sketch using the VC0706 library. // On start, the Arduino will find the camera and SD card and // then snap a photo, saving it to the SD card. // Public domain. // If using an Arduino Mega (1280, 2560 or ADK) in conjunction // with an SD card shield designed for conventional Arduinos // (Uno, etc.), it's necessary to edit the library file: // libraries/SD/utility/Sd2Card.h // Look for this line: // #define MEGA_SOFT_SPI 0 // change to: // #define MEGA_SOFT_SPI 1 // This is NOT required if using an SD card breakout interfaced // directly to the SPI bus of the Mega (pins 50-53), or if using // a non-Mega, Uno-style board. #include "Adafruit_VC0706.h" #include #include // SD card chip select line varies among boards/shields: // Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10 // Arduino Ethernet shield: pin 4 // Sparkfun SD shield: pin 8 // Arduino Mega w/hardware SPI: pin 53 // Teensy 2.0: pin 0 // Teensy++ 2.0: pin 20 #define chipSelect 4 // Pins for camera connection are configurable. // With the Arduino Uno, etc., most pins can be used, except for // those already in use for the SD card (10 through 13 plus // chipSelect, if other than pin 10). // With the Arduino Mega, the choices are a bit more involved: // 1) You can still use SoftwareSerial and connect the camera to // a variety of pins...BUT the selection is limited. The TX // pin from the camera (RX on the Arduino, and the first // argument to SoftwareSerial()) MUST be one of: 62, 63, 64, // 65, 66, 67, 68, or 69. If MEGA_SOFT_SPI is set (and using // a conventional Arduino SD shield), pins 50, 51, 52 and 53 // are also available. The RX pin from the camera (TX on // Arduino, second argument to SoftwareSerial()) can be any // pin, again excepting those used by the SD card. // 2) You can use any of the additional three hardware UARTs on // the Mega board (labeled as RX1/TX1, RX2/TX2, RX3,TX3), // but must specifically use the two pins defined by that // UART; they are not configurable. In this case, pass the // desired Serial object (rather than a SoftwareSerial // object) to the VC0706 constructor. #define cameraconnection Serial Adafruit_VC0706 cam = Adafruit_VC0706(&cameraconnection); // Using hardware serial on Mega: camera TX conn. to RX1, // camera RX to TX1, no SoftwareSerial object is required: //Adafruit_VC0706 cam = Adafruit_VC0706(&Serial1); void setup() { pinMode(10, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(10, HIGH); SerialUSB.begin(1000000); SerialUSB.println("VC0706 Camera snapshot test"); while (!SerialUSB); // wait for serial port to connect.
