Camera App Controller

Pan and zoom to explore the wiring. Remix the project to edit it in your own workspace.

1. 01

   Inspect the built-in hardware

   This app uses only the UNIHIKER K10’s built-in GC2145 camera and 2.8-inch display. Do not connect anything to the camera or display headers.

   • Tip: Remove any protective film from the camera lens so the picture is clear.

   • ⚠ Avoid covering the camera lens while testing.
2. 02

   Power the K10

   Connect the K10 to a suitable USB-C power/data cable. The board is powered through its own USB-C port; no external power circuit is needed.

   • Tip: Keep the board on a stable surface while checking the live image.

   • ⚠ Use only the normal USB-C power connection for this simple project.

#include <Arduino.h>
#include "unihiker_k10.h"

// The K10 board-support package owns the built-in GC2145 camera,
// ILI9341 display, and their shared control hardware.
UNIHIKER_K10 k10;

void setup() {
  k10.begin();

  // DFRobot's documented landscape orientation for camera examples.
  k10.initScreen(2);

  // Start the built-in camera and make its live image the screen background.
  k10.initBgCamerImage();
  k10.setBgCamerImage(false);
  k10.creatCanvas();
  k10.setBgCamerImage(true);
}

void loop() {
  // Camera preview is updated by the K10 board SDK.
  delay(20);
}
