Software


This section only focuses on how to capture images with an ArduCAM using a web socket server. You can use any Blynk-based software implementation to control the robot through your Wi-Fi network.

Arduino libraries

You will need the following Arduino libraries to write the Arduino sketch using Arduino IDE:

  • ArduCAM
  • UTFT4ArduCAM_SPI
  • ESP8266-Websocket

You can download these Arduino libraries as a ZIP file (Figure 8.13) from https://github.com/ArduCAM/ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO:

Figure 8.13: Arduino libraries for ArduCAM

The following steps will guide you how to include the previously mentioned libraries to your Arduino IDE and create a web socket server on Feather HUZZAH ESP8266:

  1. After downloading the ZIP file, extract it to your hard drive. You will get a folder named ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO-master.
  2. Inside the ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO-master folder, you can find a folder named libraries.
  3. Copy the following folders inside the libraries folder to your Arduino IDE's libraries folder:
    • ArduCAM
    • UTFT4ArduCAM_SPI
    • ESP8266...
