Trying to work with B-CAMS-OMV in monochrome mode

Jde M.2 · ‎2022-12-12

We have a B-CAMS-OMV attached to a Nucleo STM32H7 board, but we would like to work in monochrome mode, not RGB, the defaul mode for the example firmware.

Does anyone know if the sensor (OV5640 from Omnivision) can work in monochrome mode? We tried modifying some of the registers, according to the datasheet but it did not work.

Thanks,

Julio

Hello @Jde M.2 and welcome to the Community 🙂,

The OV5640 support only these formats: RAW RGB, RGB565/555/444, CCIR656, YUV422/420, YCbCr422, and compression.

For more details, I advise you to refer to the datasheet.
