I can't find reliable info about connecting these two specific pieces of hardware...

the tiny ml arduino kit I am using comes with a shield that looks like its supposed to connect the two, but when I upload my example code it says camera not connected:

" Camera failed
Image capture failed.
Person score: 108 No person score: -108
Attempting to start Arducam
Can't communicate with Arducam
InitCamera failed
Image capture failed. "

this just repeats over and over with slightly different "scores" (all within the range of a few numbers)

in case the shield isn't meant for that, ive been looking for a diagram or pinout image BUT I can only find them for the OV7670 model AND arduino UNO...

can anyone help?

also wonder if im supposed to supply power to the shield? there seems to be a spot for it...so far I just plugged in both the camera and the nano in their slots. does the shield require 3 volts?

why isn't the camera working?


PS I didnt upload the code bc it seemed irrelevant, but I can post if anyone asks

I think the problem is more with the hardware being connected improperly...?

hi,
A diagram showing the interconnections would help.
What is the Shield type/name.?

E

its called the tiny machine learning shield, nano 33 BLE, and OV7675 camera. I can't find a diagram for this specific hardware

ive confirmed that the nano and camera are meant to be connected through the shield, but I am still getting the error message in my serial monitor

Hello! I'm curious if you were able to get this working? I'm getting the same error when trying to run the person_detection project example from the TensorFlow Lite examples.
