I found this one suitable for a Pi

- Sat Aug 15, 2015 4:49 am #26049 yeh, awkwardness really. I set myself an objective for this project of:

- under 15 pounds for a single finished build 'ioe' (internet of everything)... that I can install in every room in my house:

- general purpose controller (esp8266)
- as many sensors as can be useful
- at least one 240v IO
- input either buttons on voice
- maybe OLED screen
- camera - video not required - just JPEG every second or so
- possibly motion detection.

So.. that ain't gonna work if I spend it all on the camera.

Plus, I can buy a OOB 720p IP wifi camera for 22 quid... so there has to be some other main drivers or else I'm redesigning the wheel.

That said, I hadn't found the PTC06 before, only the adafruit UART ones... maybe worth a look for other projects.

It seemed overkill when the basic OV7670 is a couple of quid, but then again I've got a raw image to do something with.

maybe a TTL camera is the way forward and I have to adjust my budget...

Also, you can get a complete banana pi and camera for 23 quid.... so IF the camera is the centre of the project, ESP8266 is probably the wrong place to start:

Then again, it's all just about learning really, so it's all good.

As I've ordered a few OV7670s (one with, one without FIFO) I'll give them a go first.

- Mon Aug 17, 2015 10:46 pm #26324 I made something similar winth a Jpeg Serial camera and an ESP8266.
Only power and UART between these two modules.
You can find that here: http://chynehome.com/web/camera-ip-wifi ... i-esp8266/
I use the Arduino IDE to make the code and upload it.
The sketch: http://chynehome.com/web/wp-content/upl ... _Cam_9.txt
It's work like an IP Wifi Camera.
