ESP32 development board with OV2640 Camera

[Timlez107]

Hello!
Is there a way to interface the ESP32 development board (https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-ESP-WROO ... B0718T232Z) with the OV2640 camera?
I've seen examples of it being interfaced with the ESP32 Ai-Thinker CAM module, but I can't use that for my project.
Or is there any other camera that is just as suitable, that already works, while maintaining the Arduino platform? Would it perhaps be better to switch to the ESP8266?
I need to take pictures in a waterproof enclosure inside of a pool, and upload the images to a server to retrieve the images from an Android app. The system will also sense motion outside of the pool.

Please advise!

Thank you

Hey!
You can search online for waveshare ov2640 and you will find a module with the camera and two row header. This will let you easily connect the camera to your board, but please be noted that your board does not have PSRAM and this will limit much what you can do with the camera. I advise you to find one of the ready made camera boards with ESP out there and try with that.

The problem is that I have to make my own pcb. I figured it would be easier to port certain parts of the esp 32 dev board schematic to my own design, versus porting the esp32-cam module or m5 stack to my own design.
