ESP32-CAM + TFT Screen + 3D Print - SelfieCam

in this tutorial you will learn how to make using an ESP 32 cam that will automatically detected photos are stored in the ESP 32s built-in memory and can be viewed and deleted using web browser connected to the ESP 32 this project uses some cables a TFT screen an ESP 32 cam a USB power bank a USB cable and an 18-6 50 battery you to the ESP 32 cam please visit the Arduino ESP 32 cam tutorial linked below a few libraries need to be installed two graphics libraries and the webserver library first library to install is the TFT ESPI library this can be installed via the IDE library manager by going to tools library manager search for TFT ESPI and installer you the TFT effects library and the webserver library need to be installed by downloading from the links below they can either be installed by unzipping to the libraries folder and should look like this when installed you or alternatively the add zip library function in the idat can be used the ESPI library setup file needs to be updated for the display in the project folder on github copy the contents of the user setup to each file to the same file in TFT SBI folder on your computer you in the project folder there's a data folder containing the images for the numbers countdown if you want to use these in the project a plug-in needs to be added to your IDE follow the link below to download the zip file unzip this to the tools folder so it looks like this restart the IDE and you will see a new item under the Tools menu when you have set up the libraries create a new folder in your Arduino folder named selfie cam and copy the two files and the data folder from the github repository as shown if your sketch folder contains a data folder you can now upload the contents of the data folder to the ESP 32 these are the settings you need for uploading the sketch note that the two megabyte app two megabytes piff's partition is used reset the ESP 32 cam and upload the sketch the wiring looks like this the LED and PCC pins on the screen are connected to the three volt pin on the ESP 32 this is how the project looks with the wires connected and the sketch uploaded you can see the video from the camera displayed on the screen I created the 3d model in Tinkercad the main part prints in one piece it needs to be flipped over in the slicing software and printed with 85% overhang you the finished print looks like this with just the supports needing to be removed if you have transparent filaments you can print a diffuser for the flash also a clip should be printed to hold the ESP 32 cam in place these can break when assembling so print a few assembling the project just requires pushing the screen into the holder placing the SP 32 cam in place and using the clip to hold it push the power bank into place and adjust so the USB power connector fits nicely place the battery into the holder and make a note of the IP address when the camera starts up add the optional flash diffuser when you point the camera at a face the software detects it and starts the image capture sequence first the flash lights up the countdown sequence starts and then the photo is taken and stored on the internal memory of the ESP 32 in the browser when you visit the IP address you will see all the images loading you can delete images from the ESP 32 memory by clicking the X in the top corner you can also click on a thumbnail to see a bigger image you
