FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 AI Development Kit (MIPI CSI / DSI & Wi-Fi 6) - แท้จาก DFRobot

• For AI Cameras and Smart Doorbells: Wi-Fi 6provides the high throughput and low latency needed to smoothly stream processed 1080p video to the cloud or a smartphone, eliminating stutter and lag even in crowded wireless environments.
• For Interactive Panels and Robotics: Bluetooth 5 (LE) simplifies the device commissioning process, enabling effortless initial setup via a smartphone app. This also allows the device to act as a hub, reliably controlling nearby Bluetooth sensors, smart locks, or lights.

• For Robot Vision Systems: I2C gyroscopes and motor drivers can be plugged directly into the dedicated headers without cross-referencing pinout diagrams. Hardware can be assembled in minutes, allowing development to shift immediately to control algorithms.
• For Home Automation Panels: The clearly marked UART headers facilitate the rapid connection of LiDAR sensors or other serial peripherals. Ample power pins ensure stable, simultaneous power for multiple sensors and a display, eliminating frustrating issues caused by an unstable power supply.

Project 3: Using a Raspberry Pi-Compatible CSI Camera with FireBeetle 2 ESP32 P4 (ESP-IDF)

Introduction: This guide explains how to interface a Raspberry Pi-compatible CSI camera with the FireBeetle 2 ESP32 P4 development board using the ESP-IDF framework.

3. Tutorial - First Time Use

3.1 Arduino IDE Configuration

When you use the ESP32 for the first time, you need to know the following steps:

1. Add the ESP32 development board in Arduino IDE (How to add the ESP32 board to Arduino IDE?)
2. Select the development board and serial port
3. Burn the program

3.2 Select Development Board

• Click Tools->Board, select "ESP32P4 Dev Module".

• The development board needs to be set before burning the code:
  • USB CDC On Boot:
    • Enabled: Print serial port data through the USB interface
    • Disabled: Print serial port data through TX and RX
  • Partition Scheme: Disk partitioning scheme. Please select the appropriate storage space according to the Flash of the development board.
  • Port: Development board port (Just make sure the COM number is correct, which has nothing to do with the subsequent chip model.)

3.3 LED Blinking

• Copy the code into the window and click "Upload" to upload the code.

int led = 3;
void setup() {
pinMode(led,OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led,LOW);
delay(1000);
}

• Wait for the burning to complete, and you can see the on-board LED light start to flash.
  • If the LED light does not flash, reset the development board.
  • If the burning fails, please check Frequently Asked Questions.
