## Overview

The Arducam ESP8266 Board is a cutting-edge module designed for Arduino UNO R3, featuring a built-in ESP8266-12E for Wi-Fi connectivity and compatibility with Arducam mini camera modules. It offers 11 digital I/O pins and 1 analog input, making it an ideal choice for innovative projects that require both connectivity and versatility.

## Description

Arducam now released a ESP8266 based Arduino board for Arducam mini camera modules while keeping the same form of factors and pinout as the standard Arduino UNO R3 board. The high light this ESP8266 board is that it well mates with Arducam mini 2MP and 5MP camera modules, supports Lithium battery power supply and recharging and with build in SD card slot. It can be an ideal solution for home security and IoT camera applications. Features: Build in ESP8266-12E Module 11 digital input/output pins, IO ports are 3.3V tolerant 1 analog input(3.2V max input) Arducam Mini 2MP/5MP camera interface Lithium battery recharging 3.7V/500mA max Building in SD/TF card socket 7-12V power jack input Build in micro USB-Serial interface Compatible with Arduino IDE Note that the SD/TF card CS pin is shared with UART TX signal, so the UART and the SD/TF can¡¯t be used at the same time. Package Including: 1pcs Arducam ESP8266 Board for Arduino UNO NOTE:OV2640 Arducam Mini Module Camera Shield is not includedThe battery is not included

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does it support UDP?**
A: Yes, the Arducam supports UDP.
If you want to see the source code for the arducam you can find it on github: https://github.com/ArduCAM/ArduCAM_ESP8266_UNO/blob/master/doc/libraries.md

**Q: Is battery shown in the picture included?**
A: The battery isn't included in this product.

**Q: can i use this on a linux?**
A: Yes, I use it with Ubuntu 18.04. I use the regular Arduino IDE.
The USB connector was originally very tight and at first I was not able to communicate over USB. I tried 3 cords and 3 computers and then it started working. I then went back to the first cord and computer and it now worked correctly. I'm thinking that the connector was too tight and wasn't connecting properly. After multiple plugins, it loosened up and then was making correct contact.

**Q: I have a class assignment to build a wifi camera that can be accessed via phone (app), will this work for that purpose?  Does this power through usb?**
A: 1.Should work for that purpose with Arducam cameras, but you'd better contact support@arducam.com for suggestions from our engineers. 2. It does power through the micro USB port.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great new space for Arduino projects
*by C***R on July 3, 2016*

This is a complex board but very cool. The built in WiFi and SD card is helpful for combined projects with cameras. The documentation for Mac users has some gaps, but the folks are ArduCam are amazingly responsive and have answered a wide range of questions I had (as a total intro user). One important note - this board (the v2 I have) uses a different USB chip than a typical Arduino. So you have to load the "CH340g USB-Serial" driver for Macs (PCs can see this one already).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy to use, great customer support.
*by C***D on May 17, 2018*

Well made board that has direct plug in for the ArduCam Plus series cameras. Set up is easy and the example programs worked well. Will not work with older Rev B cameras which I found out the hard way. Customer service was excellent in helping me through the problem as they had not come across this yet. They offered to send me a new camera and ESP8266 board to correct the problem but I purchased a new camera. When I plugged it in it worked flawlessly. I will be using more of these boards.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Anticipating great things
*by P***E on July 20, 2019*

At first my serial connector was very tight and communication via USB was NOT working. After multiple plug-ins, trying different cables, OSs and machines, it started working. Another review caused me to suspect the USB drivers. In fact, all my standard Linux and Windows drivers worked correctly without modification. (I do not have any Apple computers.) My initial problem with USB communication was the over tight USB connector that started making proper connection after multiple plug-ins.The built in WIFI is exciting and will allow much experimenting. The Arduino platform is great for connecting real physical world devices to a computer. The built in WIFI adds another layer of connectivity, connecting real world devices to a network.
