Publisher's Synopsis
The OV7670 camera module is a low-cost 0.3 megapixel CMOS color camera module, it can output a 640x480 VGA resolution image at 30fps and be used with the Arduino, so you can apply it in a lot of projects.
This book is a great investment for those interested in developing camera-related projects for the Arduino. These camera applications can involve security, surveillance, photography, toys, robots, and drones. Specifically, this book covers the Omnivision ov7670 digital camera and its use with the Arduino microcontroller. This book takes an interactive hands-on approach and shows the reader in a step-by-step guide how to use the ov7670 with the Arduino and an SD card reader/writer to take photos, save them to an SD card, and then convert them to an easily viewable format. This book will save you many hours or even weeks of frustration in trying to get this camera to work correctly. This book also gives you the basic background on the Arduino and digital cameras in general so that you will be able to develop camera projects for cameras other than the ov7670.
