Hi All,
Problem:
Running the Snapshot.pde I'm unable to produce a photo through the Waterproof TTL Serial JPEG Camera. I receive the following error:
"VC0706 Camera snapshot test
Card failed, or not present"
Hardware:
Arduino Wifi Shield
Arduino Mega ATK
Waterproof TTL Camera
Changes made:
In Sd2Card.h:
#define MEGA_SOFT_SPI 1
Snapshot.pde:
#define chipSelect 4
SoftwareSerial cameraconnection = SoftwareSerial(69, 3);
Adafruit_VC0706 cam = Adafruit_VC0706(&cameraconnection);
Any help will be mich appreciated
Thank you,
Idan

Re: Error taking Snapshot with Waterproof TTL Serial JPEG Camera
To rule out a conflict with the WiFi shield, can you try it with just the Uno?

Re: Error taking Snapshot with Waterproof TTL Serial JPEG Camera
Hi,
There is a conflict with the wifi shield, since I managed to take a photo.
I did the following changes:
Hardware:
Adafruit Micro-SD breakout board
Arduino Mega ATK
Waterproof TTL Camera
Changes made:
In Sd2Card.h:
#define MEGA_SOFT_SPI 0
Snapshot.pde:
#define chipSelect 10
SoftwareSerial cameraconnection = SoftwareSerial(69, 3);
Adafruit_VC0706 cam = Adafruit_VC0706(&cameraconnection);
Since I need wifi support for my project, how can you assist in debugging the problem?
Thanks,
Idan

Re: Error taking Snapshot with Waterproof TTL Serial JPEG Camera
We don't sell the WiFi shield and I don'[t have one here to test with. But according to the board pinouts, there should be no pin conflicts with the camera as you have it wired: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoWiFiShield
However, in your second test, you wired the SPI for the SD differently. Try it using Soft-SPI on pins 10-13 as it is on the Wi-Fi card. There may be a library conflict with soft-spi.

Hi,
I found out that I can connect the TX and RX directly to the MEGA board to RX1 and TX1 on a hardware level and not do any Software Serial changes.
Thank you for your support!!!
