ESP32 - CAM OV2640. Module. WebServer

Hello sir , my quation was in blocks what we add in -

  1. activity class
    2.activity pacakge
    ?
    or not need of that just only we have to add the "action" ? in the activity starter

Action and DataUri

First try in your PC Browser, example:
192.168.1.7:81/stream

this is block diagram of my projcet
but we not yet decide the wifi module but at last any wifi modul used ,i got the camera stream on serial monitor like-http//192.168.1.92
so how i acces this on my app .

according to ur say that this camera stream not opened in webviewr so i used activity starter .
but my quation was i need to connect my mobile phone wifi with the wifi module or it is without connect wifi is connectivity done through activity starter beacuse i have to make just protocol of this app how streaming i will done and then after some days i do practictly it is..!

this is i do for utube video insted of that i just add for http//192.168.1.92 camera video stream


and i have to make another app through wifi i have to controles the led of controoler
so by using web url like http // 192.168.9.21 if i got after run the program on serial monitor then in this in app wifi conncetivity i have to add the ip addres of wifi module ? or not

To view the cam in the app, try:

To turn LEDs on/off, see:

sir if i used the activity starter i just want like when we acces the link through web in case of wifi or activity starter
there is connection done through entering ip addres in text box is same for activity starter.?

in this sam,e as led on off is working witj entering ip addres in text box ..
but for video streaming throught activity starter is coonectivity do like this for wifi is working or not or just we have to acces only not need of wifi connectivity in textbox by entering ip addres!!


or like this only i have to do ( blocks)

I have not tested it, but you can have the same web server for video transmission and to turn on / off the LED.
Example: TextBox1.Text: http://192.168.9.21
It depends on the code of the ESP32

OK thanks for ur guidence !

- Turn on/off LED4 of the ESP32-CAM.

  • The ESP32-CAM module has a high luminosity LED, we are going to turn it on/off from an application.

  • We are going to use the library that we saw in one of the previous post:
    https://github.com/yoursunny/esp32cam

  • The Clock has an Interval of 800 ms, every that time a CAPTURE will be made.

  • Through the Buttons we send an on/off order to LED4.

  • We can also see the video in Stream, to turn it off we must wait about 35 seconds.

  • We can change the resolution of the capture:
    static auto loRes = esp32cam::Resolution::find(160, 120);

- ESP32-CAM captures images and uploads them to Google Drive. (I)

Previously, it is interesting to carry out this example of @TIMAI2 to upload and update files in Google Drive:

This tutorial in Spanish:
http://kio4.com/arduino/247_Wemos_WebCam.htm#drive

- ESP32-CAM capture image and update that image in Google Drive (II).

We are going to change the Script code, we will use part of the @TIMAI2 code to update the image that we will call capture.jpg
esp32_cam23

function doPost(e) {
  var data = Utilities.base64Decode(e.parameters.data);
// var nombreArchivo = Utilities.formatDate(new Date(), "GMT-3", "yyyyMMdd_HHmmss")+".jpg";
  var filename = "capture.jpg";
  var blob = Utilities.newBlob(data, e.parameters.mimetype, filename);
  
  var folder, folders = DriveApp.getFoldersByName("ESP32-CAM");
  if (folders.hasNext()) {
    folder = folders.next();
  } else {
    folder = DriveApp.createFolder("ESP32-CAM");
  }
  
  var existing = folder.getFilesByName(filename);
    if (existing.hasNext()) {
      var file = existing.next();
      if (file.getName() == filename) {
          fileID = file.getId();
         // Drive.Files.update({title: filename, mimeType: mimetype}, fileID, blob); 
          Drive.Files.update({title: filename,  mimeType: file.getMimeType()}, fileID, blob); 
      }
    } else {
    blob = Utilities.newBlob(data, e.parameters.mimetype, filename);
    fileID = folder.createFile(blob).getId(); 
    }
  
 // var file = folder.createFile(blob); 
  
  return ContentService.createTextOutput("Completo.")
}
  • We can locate the key of the file and put it in an Image component within a Clock, every certain interval the image will be updated on the screen.

hello sir,
my quation was by using esp 32 cam module can i controlled other 6 leds through mit app through wifi connecetivity and configuring esp32 cam as web server meanse in local area network ..... beacuse esp32 cam having 10 gpios but some are used for the camera in bulid module so can u help me in this?

In this tutorial you can see the ESP32-CAM pinout:

The following pins are internally connected to the microSD card reader:

  • GPIO 14: CLK
  • GPIO 15: CMD
  • GPIO 2: Data 0
  • GPIO 4: Data 1 (also connected to the on-board LED)
  • GPIO 12: Data 2
  • GPIO 13: Data 3

but if you don't have SdCard, maybe you can use it, I haven't tried it.

These pins can be connected to a 16-Channel CD74HC4067 multiplexer module and get 16 outputs.

- Loading the Sketch using an Arduino UNO.

- Add a button to the web page to turn on/off LED4, flash led.

esp32_cam37

We consult the following tutorial:

- Another Video Streamer with the WebViewer component.

esp32_cam38

It can transmit with HTTP and RTSP.

#ifdef ENABLE_WEBSERVER
WebServer server(80);
#endif

#ifdef ENABLE_RTSPSERVER
WiFiServer rtspServer(8554);
#endif

hi there, i had some question, in your esp code there is no led, and if i add a led 4 from http://kio4.com/arduino/247_Wemos_WebCam.htm#led4, when streaming the led button doesnt work, how to make the led button work when streaming?, thanks...
