TimerCamera-X

SKU:U082-X

Description

TimerCamera-X is a camera module based on the ESP32-D0WDQ6-V3, featuring onboard 8M PSRAM and a 3MP camera (OV3660) with a DFOV of 66.5°, capable of capturing photos at a maximum resolution of 2048x1536. It includes a built-in 140mAh battery and an LED status indicator, with a reset button located below the indicator for easy development and debugging. The camera is designed with ultra-low power consumption in mind, utilizing an RTC (BM8563) for timed sleep and wake functions, with a sleep current as low as 2μA. When set to take timed photos (one per hour), the battery can support continuous operation for over a month. The module supports WiFi image transmission and USB port debugging, with a HY2.0-4P port at the bottom for connecting other peripherals. Firmware can be flashed via M5Burner, allowing direct configuration of TimerCamera-X using Camera-Tool, or data processing in UIFlow.

Undervoltage/Power Loss Protection

ESP-IDF

ESP-IDF can be configured in menuconfig during project compilation to disable this feature.

idf.py menuconfig

Component config->ESP32-specific->Hardware brownout detect & reset (disable)

Arduino

On the Arduino platform, this can be disabled during initialization with the following example code.

#include "soc/soc.h"
#include "soc/rtc_cntl_reg.h"

void setup() {
  WRITE_PERI_REG(RTC_CNTL_BROWN_OUT_REG, 0); //disable detector
}

USB Driver

TimerCamera-X may not work without a driver on some systems. You can resolve this issue by manually installing the FTDI VCP driver.

1. Select the driver file that matches your operating system from the list below, download it, and extract it. You can also visit the FTDI Chip official website for additional FTDI driver versions.

2. Connect the device to your PC, open Device Manager, and install the FTDI driver (the screenshot below uses Windows 10 as an example). (Note: On some systems, you may need to install the driver twice for it to take effect. The unrecognized device is usually named M5Stack or USB Serial.)
