OV 7670 Camera with Basys 3

[sepack]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to connect an OV 7670 camera to my basys 3 board and program it so that it shows the live camera feed on a monitor connected to the VGA port of the basys 3. The only thing I was able to do is connect the camera to the pins on the basys 3. I've looked everywhere, including here, but cannot write the other components, like frame buffer, myself. I would appreciate any help or any suggestions about where to look for help.

P.S. I have enough knowledge of VHDL and the basys 3 board to implement an adder that uses the 7-segment display.

Thanks.

Are you sure there's enough memory on a Basys3 board for the frame buffer?

If so (and I don't think you do), you will find half of the frame buffer code you will need here--the half necessary to read from the frame buffer, and create a video output stream from it.  There's also a decent Video simulator there, both camera and VGA output, that you can use to verify that your core is doing the right thing.

Hi @sepack,

Digilent does not have a demo using the OV 7670 camera and the Basys 3. I did find a VHDL project here that should be what you are looking for.

cheers,
