# Camera Basic Example

This example demonstrates how to initialize the camera sensor and then get the data captured by the sensor.

See the [README.md](../README.md) file in the upper level [camera](../) directory for more information about examples.

## How to use example

### Hardware Required

* A development board with camera module (e.g., ESP-EYE, ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1, ESP32-S3-EYE, etc.)
* A USB cable for power supply and programming

### Configure the project

```
idf.py menuconfig
```
* Open the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig -> Camera Pin Configuration`) to configure camera pins.

### Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

```
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor
```

(Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.)

(To exit the serial monitor, type ``Ctrl-]``.)

See the [Getting Started Guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/index.html) for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

```

## Troubleshooting
* If the log shows "gpio: gpio_intr_disable(176): GPIO number error", then you probably need to check the configuration of camera pins, which you can find in the project configuration menu (`idf.py menuconfig`): Component config -> Camera Pin Config.
* If the initialization of the camera sensor fails. Please check the initialization parameters and pin configuration of your camera sensor.
