Create an image with the name 0000000.JPG You can read the size back from the camera (optional, but maybe useful?) Remember that bigger pictures take longer to transmit! Set the picture size - you can choose one of 640x480, 320x240 or 160x120 Print out the camera version information (optional) Serial.println('Card failed, or not present') see if the card is present and can be initialized: Serial.println('VC0706 Camera snapshot test') If(chipSelect != 4) pinMode(4, OUTPUT) // SS on Uno, etc. If(chipSelect != 53) pinMode(53, OUTPUT) // SS on Mega floating input w/SPI on, this can cause lockuppage. output (even if not connected or used). When using hardware SPI, the SS pin MUST be set to an camera RX to TX1, no SoftwareSerial object is required:

Using hardware serial on Mega: camera TX conn. NewSoftSerial cameraconnection = NewSoftSerial(2, 3) ДЄdafruit_VC0706 cam = Adafruit_VC0706(&cameraconnection) SoftwareSerial cameraconnection = SoftwareSerial(69, 3) On Mega: camera TX connected to pin 69 (A15), camera RX to pin 3: SoftwareSerial cameraconnection = SoftwareSerial(2, 3) On Uno: camera TX connected to pin 2, camera RX to pin 3: Using SoftwareSerial (Arduino 1.0+) or NewSoftSerial (Arduino 0023 & prior): desired Serial object (rather than a SoftwareSerial but must specifically use the two pins defined by that the Mega board (labeled as RX1/TX1, RX2/TX2, RX3,TX3), 2) You can use any of the additional three hardware UARTs on pin, again excepting those used by the SD card. Arduino, second argument to SoftwareSerial()) can be any a conventional Arduino SD shield), pins 50, 51, 52 and 53 argument to SoftwareSerial()) MUST be one of: 62, 63, 64, pin from the camera (RX on the Arduino, and the first a variety of pins.BUT the selection is limited. 1) You can still use SoftwareSerial and connect the camera to With the Arduino Mega, the choices are a bit more involved:

those already in use for the SD card (10 through 13 plus With the Arduino Uno, etc., most pins can be used, except for Pins for camera connection are configurable. Adafruit SD shields and modules: pin 10 SD card chip select line varies among boards/shields: uncomment this line if using Arduino V23 or earlier

comment out this line if using Arduino V23 or earlier directly to the SPI bus of the Mega (pins 50-53), or if using This is NOT required if using an SD card breakout interfaced (Uno, etc.), it's necessary to edit the library file: with an SD card shield designed for conventional Arduinos If using an Arduino Mega (1280, 2560 or ADK) in conjunction then snap a photo, saving it to the SD card.

On start, the Arduino will find the camera and SD card and Is there a way to get more consistently short writing times to the sd? IвЂ™m not too worried about overwriting any filenames as I will be starting each timelapse with an empty sd card, but I canвЂ™t get the sketch to compile with out the above line.ДЇull sketch so far: // This is a basic snapshot sketch using the VC0706 library.

Does this have to do with the program searching for an existing filename in the code lines: // create if does not exist, do not open existing, write, sync after write Example: 1st image written to 2nd was done in about 5sec, but the 300th to the 301st was about 11sec. This is great, but upon testing over hours, i noticed that it is taking longer and longer to write the JPEG to the sd as the files accumulate on the sd.
