USB Camera to ESP32-S2 (UVC Camera)

ESP32-S2 supports a native USB interface. It works as a USB Host and allows data communication by connecting USB peripherals. Unfortunately, the maximum speed of this USB is 12Mbps, so you can't expect that fast.

In this video, I will show you how to properly acquire an image by connecting a UVC camera and ESP32-S2.

I turned on Closed Captioning and slowed it down to 75% speed. Great video. I've been looking at this, as the ones with cameras onboard the ESP32-S3 module gets too hot.

Hey Eric,
I have been working over a machine where I will be using cameras to record pictures with esp32. Earlier I was relying over Esp32-cam module but now after your video, I think I can connect a webcam for pictures as you did.
One question: If I use an Esp32 development board instead of Esp32-s2 then will it work or will I have to purchase a separate esp32-s2 board.

(6:35) "my descriptor does not have this information" about the bFrameIndex. But it did have bFrameIndex=1 listed in the descriptor, line 41? Did you just miss it, maybe? It's not exactly a straightforward setup, it's already impressive that you managed to get it to work!

I'm stuck on the first part as I can't get the example to load into the IDE and compile for me. Are there previous steps that I should know about? In the IDE I can put several examples, but just in this example I am doing something wrong.

can i connect a normal computer webcam to an ESP32?
what is the name of the module that you used for connecting?

Hello, I have the problem that I do not appear sdkconfig (3:50) on the edge what am I doing wrong?

[SurceCde]

Thank you for your time and effort. I tried recreating the setup by using a dev-board containing a ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R2. However, after uploading the cloned report the ESP runs only until the PSRAM is initialized and after that it freezes until the watchdog timer runs out and triggers a reset. I have no idea what would cause this behaviour any help would be appreciated.

Can you connect a usb camera, sd card model and pir sensor to a ESP32 development board?
To create a time lapse video?

Hello I have an idea for a great projects using esp32 ttgo t cam plus, it does not seem to have been done before and there is some code out there to help so not all has to be done from scratch. How do get information to you?

[NurulSalshabila]

Hi, can you explain how to open the configuration descriptor and the uvc config at sdkconfig as now it uses the new file "usb-camera-mic-spk". Thank you for your help cause i'm totally lost following this video with the new file

How would I go about using the esp32 as a simple wifi antenna for my laptop? for example if my wifi card inside was to fail, could I use the esp32 to connect and surf?

[evaavilesalvarez]

Hi, when I flash the program I get the following error:
E (2292) UVC_STREAM: urb data_buffer alloc failed
E (2297) UVC_STREAM: (_usb_processing_task):stream urb alloc failed
It's about the stream line, but i can't figure out how to solve it. Do you have any recommendations?

[PeterBenedek-kxyp]

Were you able to power up the camera just by the ESP32 device or had to use external 5v power source for it? What about the amperage?

[gnar-ninja]

were you able to get the camera's mic input to play on your smartphone?

Hello sir. Have you tried using USB borescope probe cameras for looking into small dark spaces like drain pipes?

[karthickbruce]

I am trying to receive data from USB barcode reader (serial mode) but the example code (basic CDC) in "Espressif IOT" gives partition error. Board ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8, Environment ESP IDF. Will this setup work?

should i getting S2 or S3? what the difference for UVC demo?

How to set maximum resolution of our usb camera ?
i try resolution like 320*480 and 640*480, 1280*720, but video quality still same nothing difference ?

My usb camera is endoscopic and has no JPEG compression but has UVC parameters in it. I have no idea how to make it work with the parameters obtained with "lsusb -v".
