Switching Between Two ESP-CAM Boards on a Single TFT Display via SPI
Yes @Daniel kalu , it's possible to share the
SPI bus between the two ESP-CAM boards, but you'll need to manage the SPI bus and the CS lines carefully. One approach is to use a multiplexer or an analog switch to select which camera is connected to the TFT display at a time. This allows you to keep both cameras connected but only one active on the bus, Another method is to manually control the CS line, ensuring only one ESP-CAM is communicating with the TFT at any given time. This way, you can maintain a high frame rate and switch between cameras with minimal delay. Implementing a software solution to handle the bus arbitration would be essential for seamless switching.4 replies
