I couldn't find any ESP32 Camera board simulator online, even popular embedded systems simulator like wokwi didn't provide.
Perhaps you can tell me if there is any existing ESP32 Camera Board online.
The reason I asked this, because I'm so tired to debug embedded systems where I need to compiling and then uploading the program for small code changes.
My code base currently on C language where I'm using Espressif IoT Development Framework (FreeRTOS).
I ever heard that ESP32 Camera Board basically just a normal ESP32 but with reserved pinout for camera pins.
Here is the reserved pin map:
| OV2640 | ESP32 | Variable name in code |
|---|---|---|
| D0 | GPIO 5 | Y2_GPIO_NUM |
| D1 | GPIO 18 | Y3_GPIO_NUM |
| D2 | GPIO 19 | Y4_GPIO_NUM |
| D3 | GPIO 21 | Y5_GPIO_NUM |
| D4 | GPIO 36 | Y6_GPIO_NUM |
| D5 | GPIO 39 | Y7_GPIO_NUM |
| D6 | GPIO 34 | Y8_GPIO_NUM |
| D7 | GPIO 35 | Y9_GPIO_NUM |
| XCLK | GPIO 0 | XCLK_GPIO_NUM |
| PCLK | GPIO 22 | PCLK_GPIO_NUM |
| VSYNC | GPIO 25 | VSYNC_GPIO_NUM |
| HREF | GPIO 23 | HREF_GPIO_NUM |
| SDA | GPIO 26 | SIOD_GPIO_NUM |
| SCL | GPIO 27 | SIOC_GPIO_NUM |
| POWER PIN | GPIO 32 | PWDN_GPIO_NUM |
Since there is no ESP32 Camera Board to simulate, i'm wondering if I can simulate based on those physical pin.
So, there are two esp32 board total, the first one act as esp32cam board, and the second one act as camera module where it virtually sending frame buffer to those reserved pin. Esp32 that act as camera module will get the framebuffer from wifi interface or IP.
Hence, I can code with existing esp32 camera pinout.
The overall diagram will be like this:
Framebuffer (IP) -> ESP32 (act as camera module) -> ESP32 (act as camera board) -> Printing Framebuffer So, how do I achieve my goal?
