VC0706-cam-lib-legato

Library for the Adafruit VC0706 camera used on Legato devices.

Credit

The majority of this code is ported from Adafruit's Adafruit-VC0706-Serial-Camera-Library repository with some C/Legato specific changes.

This is a library for the Adafruit TTL JPEG Camera (VC0706 chipset)

Pick one up today in the adafruit shop! ------> http://www.adafruit.com/products/397

These displays use Serial to communicate, 2 pins are required to interface

Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code, please support Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing products from Adafruit!

Example Usage

#include "legato.h"
#include "interfaces.h"
#include "camera.h"

#define RETRY_WAIT_SEC 60

bool takePhoto (Camera *cam, char *dirPath) {
  cam->fd = fd_openCam();
  bool resetSucess = cam_reset(cam);
  LE_INFO("Camera reset %s", resetSucess ? "succeeded" : "failed");
  LE_DEBUG("Taking photo...");
  bool snapshotSuccess = cam_snapshotToFile(cam, dirPath, VC0706_640x480);
  LE_INFO("Snapshot %s", snapshotSuccess ? "succeeded" : "failed");
  fd_closeCam(cam->fd);
  return resetSucess && snapshotSuccess;
}

void photoLoop (Camera *cam, int intervalMintues, char *dirPath) {
  LE_INFO("Taking photos every %d minutes and storing them in %s", intervalMintues, dirPath);
  while (true) {
    bool success = takePhoto(cam, dirPath);
    int sleepDur = success ? intervalMintues * 60 : RETRY_WAIT_SEC;
    if (success) LE_INFO("Taking next photo in %d minutes", intervalMintues);
    else LE_INFO("Retrying after %d seconds", RETRY_WAIT_SEC);
    sleep(sleepDur);
  }
}

COMPONENT_INIT {
  Camera cam = {
    .serialNum = 0x00,
    .bufferLen = 0,
    .frameptr = 0,
  };
  photoLoop(&cam, 10, "/home/root/sd");
}

Typedefs

Camera

typedef struct {
  int fd; // file descriptor for the serial port
  uint8_t serialNum; // camera serial number
  uint8_t buff[BUFF_SIZE]; // uint8_t array to store camera data
  uint8_t bufferLen; // current length of data in buffer
  uint16_t frameptr;
} Camera;

Usage on Other Platforms

This code is highly decoupled from Legato with the exception of LE_INFO and LE_DEBUG log statements. In future releases this could be made more portable with pre-processor directives to redefine these macros.
