M5Stack UnitCam S3

[cohen-sydney]

Hi I have not mastered Platform IO, any chance that there is an Arduino version??

I am trying to load this onto a M5Stack UnitCam S3 to stream to HomeKit via HomeBrigde FFMPEG.

thanks.

[cohen-sydney]

I have got the Platform IO working for this but having issues building for the
M5Satck CAMS3 Unit. It builds but doe snot find the camera on running.
any tips on what to hang in INI or PlatformIO to get it to build??

Hi cohen,

Use the develop version.
I do not own such a camera but take a look at the include/camera_config.h. There are the pins defined to connect to the camera. Something might be wrong there...

[cohen-sydney]

I did use the Develop version. ill look into the Camera config for the pins.
thanks

[rzeldent]

Yes, good luck, the develop version is an attempt to get it also running on other platforms. This was required for the seeed_xiao_esp32s3 that uses the esp32s3. Not everything has been tested so help is very welcome.
Make a PR if you have suggestions!

[cohen-sydney]

will do nice code by the way.

[cohen-sydney]

so I use this Env
default_envs = seeed_xiao_esp32s3

it compiles and loads for my M5camS3 Unit, I can get the config page and log into my wifi, but as you say the Camera Config might be incorrect.

I looked at the pins and the M5 docs

https://docs.m5stack.com/en/unit/Unit-CamS3
https://m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/resource/docs/datasheet/unit/OV2640DS_en.pdf
https://m5stack.oss-cn-shenzhen.aliyuncs.com/resource/docs/products/unit/Unit-CamS3/ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N16R8.pdf

but I really have no idea what to change on this:-
any help??? would be appreciated, thanks

Hiconstexpr camera_config_t m5stack_camera_settings = {
I added the settings. Just do a pull and they should be there if you build the m5stack

[cohen-sydney]

Thanks. Just to confirm I am using the Env constexpr camera_config_t xiao_esp32s3_camera_settings = {
as this is a ESP32S3 the only one that works for my device.
If you change the other one, will it help? I downloaded the new file and it did not help??

[cohen-sydney]

I built using the default_envs = m5stack_esp32cam in the Platformio . ini
but got this error
A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32-S3 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?
only the default_envs = seeed_xiao_esp32s3 is esp32s3 the tip my camera has. thanks

Maybe board is off... I think this is a new version and needs to be added
What do you use for the board?

[cohen-sydney]

It's all one device. Board and camera together. If I understand your question. I want to use it as home security camera. It's small.

Added it to the project, development branch, just uncomment in the platformio.ini the board...

[cohen-sydney]

thanks ill try it out in the morning.
appreciate it.

[rzeldent]

No guarantees, but maybe your fiddling will make it work?

[cohen-sydney]

Thanks for your help. I get a panic after loading.
I set the ini file to "default_envs = m5stack_unitcams3"
it complies and transfers OK. I set the device target to esp32s3.
this is the panic from the Serial Monitor
