Uji Lari Box1 2 3 4 (All Box) ESP32 CAM and Huskylens RBTX2024 Tech Marvel

Introduction

This tutorial guides you through using the ESP32 CAM and Huskylens for a robotics project, specifically focusing on the Uji Lari Box1 2 3 4. The integration of these components allows for advanced image processing and object recognition applications, making it a valuable addition to your tech arsenal.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials

Before starting, ensure you have the following components ready:

• ESP32 CAM module
• Huskylens AI camera
• Jumper wires
• Breadboard (optional)
• Power source (battery or USB)
• Computer with Arduino IDE installed

Step 2: Set Up the ESP32 CAM

1. Connect the ESP32 CAM to your computer using a USB-to-TTL adapter.
2. Open Arduino IDE and install the necessary libraries:
   • Go to Sketch > Include Library > Manage Libraries.
   • Search for and install the "ESP32" library.
3. Select the correct board in Arduino IDE:
   • Navigate to Tools > Board and select "ESP32 Wrover Module."
4. Select the correct port:
   • Go to Tools > Port and select the port for your ESP32 CAM.

Step 3: Write the Code for ESP32 CAM

1. Start a new sketch in Arduino IDE.
2. Use the following code snippet to set up the camera:

#include "esp_camera.h"

// Camera configuration settings
camera_config_t config;
config.ledc_channel = LEDC_CHANNEL;
config.ledc_timer = LEDC_TIMER;
config.pin_d0 = 5;
config.pin_d1 = 18;
config.pin_d2 = 19;
config.pin_d3 = 21;
config.pin_d4 = 36;
config.pin_d5 = 39;
config.pin_d6 = 34;
config.pin_d7 = 35;
config.pin_xclk = 0;
config.pin_pclk = 22;
config.pin_vsync = 25;
config.pin_href = 23;
config.pin_sscb_sda = 26;
config.pin_sscb_scl = 27;
config.camera_model = CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER;

void setup() {
  // Initialize camera
  camera.begin();
}

3. Upload the code to the ESP32 CAM.

Step 4: Connect Huskylens to ESP32 CAM

1. Wire the Huskylens to the ESP32 CAM:
   • Connect the Huskylens TX to ESP32 RX.
   • Connect the Huskylens RX to ESP32 TX.
   • Connect power and ground appropriately.
2. Check connections to ensure they are secure and properly aligned.

Step 5: Program the Huskylens

1. Power on the Huskylens and configure it using its onboard interface:
   • Set it to recognize specific objects or features you want to track.
   • Save the configuration to the Huskylens.
2. Test the connection by sending a simple command from the ESP32 to check if the Huskylens responds.

Step 6: Integrate and Test the System

1. Combine the code for both the ESP32 CAM and Huskylens in a single sketch.
2. Run tests by moving objects in front of the Huskylens and observing the responses from the ESP32.
3. Adjust parameters as necessary to improve performance.

Conclusion

You have now successfully set up a project using the ESP32 CAM and Huskylens. This combination allows for powerful image recognition and robotics applications. As next steps, consider experimenting with additional features like integrating sensors or expanding the project into more complex robotic tasks. Keep refining your code and configurations for optimal performance.
