A:If you have this problem,Firstly, you should check your SPI interface and i2c interface.If they work fine,
you can try add some yield(); in your code.
Q4: Can’t connect WIFI?
A:In our ArduCAM ESP8266 capture demo,the default mode is AP mode, when it work fine,you will see the below content in the serial port.
“Share AP: arducam_esp8266
The password is:
192.168.4.1
Server started”
You should search and connect the arducam_esp8266.
If you want to work in station mode.just set the wifiType = 0.Then you should put your ssid and password.
“const char* ssid = “SSID”; // Put your SSID here
const char* password = “PASSWORD”; // Put your PASSWORD here”
Q5: Can’t find the serial device number?
A: Please ensure you have install the CH340 driver on your PC.If haven’t installed, you can download it from https://github.com/UCTRONICS/Drivers/raw/master/CH34x/CH341SER.EXE
Then install it .
