This is the Repo for the Core Electronics port of the Arducam Mega 5MP Camera for the Raspberry Pi Pico (Micropython)
Status: Experimental This driver is very much experimental at the moment. Expect frequent, breaking updates. This project is featured in the 27-July-2023 episode of The Factory - Core Electronics' Engineering and Product Development vlog.
Project Status:
- Confirmed working on 3MP Camera (ISSUE: Photos have a green hue, camera_idx identifies the two versions) - https://forum.arducam.com/t/mega-3mp-micropython-driver/5708
- Can set resolution
- Can set remaining filters and modes
- Able to set multiple adjustments at the same time (see issue#3)
- Class moved to separate file
- Burst read
- Confirm a micro SD card can use the same SPI bus (Micropython compatibility) - requires camera to release SPI bus, bulk reading into bytearray would speed this up
- Confirm working with latest Micropython version)
- Filemanager also handles subfolders for images
- Confirm that different file formats output correctly (RGB=BMP, YGV?)
- Confirm that pixel RGB values can be extrapolated from BMP format for machine learning applications
