How to use OV7670 camera module with Arduino - Digital Lab (2024)

Introduction to OV7670 camera module

The OV7670 image sensor is a small size, low voltage, single-chip VGA camera and CMOS image processor for all functions. It provides full-frame, sub-sampled or windowed 8-bit images in various formats, controlled through the Serial Camera Control Bus (SCCB) interface.
The camera module is powered from a single +3.3V power supply, and external clock source for camera module XCLK pin. The OV7670 camera module built-in onboardLDO regulator only requires single 3.3V power and can be used inArduino,STM32,Chipkit, ARM, DSP,FPGA and etc.

OV7670 module specifications are:

  • Optical size 1/6 inch
  • Resolution 640×480 VGA
  • Onboard regulator, only single 3.3V supply needed
  • Mounted with high quality F1.8 / 6mm lens
  • High sensitivity for low-light operation
  • Automatic image control functions including: Automatic
  • Exposure Control (AEC), Automatic Gain Control (AGC), Automatic White Balance (AWB), Automatic Band Filter (ABF), and Automatic Black-Level Calibration (ABLC)
  • Image quality controls including color saturation, hue, gamma, sharpness (edge enhancement), and anti-blooming
  • Flicker (50/60 Hz) auto detection
  • Saturation level auto adjust (UV adjust)
  • Edge enhancement level auto adjust
  • De-noise level auto adjust

The pin outs of the module are as follows:

What you need :

  1. Arduino Uno Board and USB
  2. OV7670 Arduino Camera Sensor Module STM32
  3. 10K resistor X 2
  4. 4.7K Resistor X2
  5. Breadboardand Arduino IDE

Circuit and connections

Once you connect the arduino and camera module as per the above diagram compile the code mentioned below and upload to Arduino uno.

After that you will need an output program to convert the raw data read by the Arduino through the serial port into an image. You can use any program of your choice or write your own serial port reader. I have used following program written in C++. Download it and run the exe as is. If you get error recompile it.

Serial port reader

Programming Arduino UNO

Since OV7670 runs on I2C interface, it includes <util/twi.h> library. The libraries used in this project are built-in libraries of ArduinoIDE. We just have to include the libraries to get the job done.
After this, the registers need to be modified for OV7670.
The Setup() comprises all the initial setups required for only image capturing. The first function is arduinoUnoInut() which is used to initialise the arduino uno. Initially it disables all the global interrupts and sets the communication interface configurations such as the PWM clock, selection of interrupt pins, presclaer selection, adding parity and stop bits.

​arduinoUnoInut();

After configuring the Arduino, the camera has to be configured. To initialise the camera, we only have the options to change the register values. The register values need to be changed from the default to the custom. Also add required delay depending upon the microcontroller frequency we are using. As, slow microcontrollers have less processing time adding more delay between capturing frames.

void camInit(void){writeReg(0x12, 0x80);_delay_ms(100);wrSensorRegs8_8(ov7670_default_regs);writeReg(REG_COM10, 32);//PCLK does not toggle on HBLANK.}

The camera is set to take a QVGA image so the resolution need to be selected. The function configures the register to take a QVGA image.

setResolution();

In this tutorial, the images are taken in monochrome, so the register value is set to output a monochrome image. The function sets the register values from register list which is predefined in the program.

setColor();

The below function is write to register function which writes the hex value to register. If you get the scrambled images then try to change the second term i.e. 10 to 9/11/12. But most of the time this value works fine so no need to change it.

writeReg(0x11, 10);

This function is used to get the image resolution size. In this project we are taking pictures in the size of 320 x 240 pixels.

captureImg(320, 240);
