    OV7670 with FIFO

    This project shows how to interface the cheap OV7670 camera with FIFO using an ESP32 and
    display the image on an SPI TFT.

    You can find the details on the project without the FIFO here.

    Parts
    The parts used here are the LOLIN32 microcontroller. Any ESP32 board can be used. The code
    is currently independent of the actual processor, so you can use also different platforms.

    The camera is the cheap OV7670 with FIFO (AL422b). The camera supports up to VGA
    resolution but the FIFO can only store 3MBit. This is just sufficient for QQVGA or section of
    higher resolutions.

    The “real-time” output is done on the 1.8″ SPI TFT display. Due to the single data line, the
    update rate is really limited. To be able to run the display on 3.3V the jumper on the back side
    must be closed.
     Where to get them
    These links are also supporting my work but I don’t mind if you find a cheaper source 😉

     OV7670 with FIFO


     LOLIN32 Board
     1.8inch SPI TFT
     Level shifter (only needed if you are using a 5V micro)

    Schematics
    The pin connections of the devices can also be found in the code. The definitions can be changed
    except for MOSI and SCK for the SPI interface which is native on these pins on the ESP32.
    Using other microcontrollers, the corresponding native SPI pins have to be used.
    There are some limitations configuring the pins of the ESP32. Pins 34, 35, 36(VP), 39(VN) are
    read-only. Those can’t be used for I2C, the clock (XCLK) or TFT signals. Pins 0, 2 and 5 are
    used as boot signals. Those should not be used as inputs to avoid problems while programming.
    Pin 5 is also attached to the LED on the LOLIN32 board. Pins 6-11 (if available) are a no go
    since those are wired to the SPI flash memory connected to the ESP32.

    Code
    The code can be found in my github repository:

    Node.RED flow
    This a simple flow that takes the IP announced by the ESP32 and constructs an iframe for
    Node.RED dashboard that shows the images from the camera
