TTL Serial JPEG Camera COLOR_CTRL

[cfaulkingham]

Is there a reason why the color ctrl was omitted from the Arduino lib? I would like to try and switch the mode to black and white on the camera but I have been unsuccessful in extending the api.

Here are my changes to VC0706.h
https://gist.github.com/1148928

and my changes to VC0706.cpp
https://gist.github.com/1148890

In the Snapshot.pde I added

Code: Select all

cam.setColorCtrl(2,1);

right after cam.setImageSize(

It seems to be sending the right sequence of bytes to the camera to set it to black and white but the images are still color.

Code: Select all

0x56+0x0+0x3C+0x2+0x1+0x2

Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

we didn't think anyone would like to have that, you can add a request on github and we'll try to add it

Hi

I am also trying to use the camera in black and white mode.
Am about to try out my code.
Did you ever get it working?
