Here's a basic Arduino code for an ESP32 CAM module to connect to a WiFi network

#include "esp_camera.h"
#include "WiFi.h"

// Replace with your network credentials
const char* ssid = "YourSSID";
const char* password = "YourWiFiPassword";

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  // Connect to Wi-Fi network
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
  Serial.print("Connecting to Wi-Fi");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.print(".");
  }
  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("Wi-Fi connected successfully");

  // Initialize camera module
  camera_config_t config;
  config.ledc_channel = LEDC_CHANNEL_0;
  config.ledc_timer = LEDC_TIMER_0;
  config.pin_d0 = 5;
  config.pin_d1 = 18;
  config.pin_d2 = 19;
  config.pin_d3 = 21;
  config.pin_d4 = 36;
  config.pin_d5 = 39;
  config.pin_d6 = 34;
  config.pin_d7 = 35;
  config.pin_xclk = 0;
  config.pin_pclk = 22;
  config.pin_vsync = 25;
  config.pin_href = 23;
  config.pin_sscb_sda = 26;
  config.pin_sscb_scl = 27;
  config.xclk_freq_hz = 20000000;
  config.pixel_format = PIXFORMAT_JPEG;
  
  // Start the camera
  esp_err_t err = esp_camera_init(&config);
  if (err != ESP_OK) {
    Serial.printf("Camera init failed with error 0x%x", err);
    return;
  }
  Serial.println("Camera init successful");

}

void loop() {
  // Capture a photo
  camera_fb_t * fb = NULL;
  fb = esp_camera_fb_get();
  if (!fb) {
    Serial.println("Camera capture failed");
    return;
  }

  // Send the photo to a remote server
  WiFiClient client;
  if (client.connect("www.example.com", 80)) { // Replace with your server details
    String httpRequest = "POST /upload.php HTTP/1.1\r\n" +
                         "Host: www.example.com\r\n" +
                         "Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n" +
                         "Content-Length: " + String(fb->len) + "\r\n\r\n";
    client.print(httpRequest);
    client.write(fb->buf, fb->len);
    Serial.println("Photo sent to server");
  } else {
    Serial.println("Failed to connect to server");
  }

  // Free the memory used by the photo buffer
  esp_camera_fb_return(fb);

  // Wait for 5 seconds before taking the next photo
  delay(5000);
}

This code connects the ESP32 CAM module to a WiFi network using the provided network credentials. It then initializes the camera module and captures a photo using the esp_camera_fb_get() function. The photo is sent to a remote server using a POST request with the WiFiClient class. Replace the server details with your own server address and the path to your PHP script for processing the image. The code then waits for 5 seconds before capturing the next photo. Note that you may need to adjust the camera configuration based on your module and adjust the delay time between photo captures based on your needs.

Here's a basic Arduino code for a Breathalyzer project using an MQ-3 alcohol sensor

const int sensorPin = A0; // MQ-3 sensor connected to analog pin A0
const int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13
const float refVoltage = 5.0; // Reference voltage for the sensor
const float voutToAlcoholRatio = 0.0048828125; // Ratio to convert voltage output to alcohol concentration

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600); // Initialize serial communication at 9600 bps
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // Set LED pin as output
}

void loop() {
  float sensorVoltage = analogRead(sensorPin) * refVoltage / 1023.0; // Read analog input and convert to voltage
  float alcoholConcentration = sensorVoltage / voutToAlcoholRatio; // Convert voltage to alcohol concentration
  Serial.print("Alcohol Concentration: "); // Print the alcohol concentration to the serial monitor
  Serial.print(alcoholConcentration);
  Serial.println(" ppm");
  if (alcoholConcentration >= 0.5) { // If the alcohol concentration is above the threshold, turn on the LED
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // Otherwise, turn off the LED
  }
  delay(1000); // Wait for 1 second before taking the next reading
}

This code reads the analog output of the MQ-3 alcohol sensor connected to analog pin A0 and converts the voltage output to alcohol concentration in parts per million (ppm) using the voutToAlcoholRatio. The alcohol concentration is then printed to the serial monitor and compared to a threshold of 0.5 ppm. If the concentration is above the threshold, the LED connected to digital pin 13 is turned on. The code then waits for 1 second before taking the next reading. Note that the threshold value may need to be adjusted depending on the sensitivity of the sensor and the desired level of accuracy.

Here's an Arduino code for capturing video with the ESP32-CAM module:

#define RESET_GPIO_NUM    -1
#define XCLK_GPIO_NUM      0

#define SIOC_GPIO_NUM     27

#define Y9_GPIO_NUM       35
#define Y8_GPIO_NUM       34
#define Y7_GPIO_NUM       39

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  // Initialize camera
  camera_config_t config;
  config.ledc_channel = LEDC_CHANNEL_0;
  config.ledc_timer = LEDC_TIMER_0;
  config.pin_d0 = Y2_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d1 = Y3_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d2 = Y4_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d3 = Y5_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d4 = Y6_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d5 = Y7_GPIO_NUM;
  config.pin_d6 = Y8_GPIO_NUM;

  config.pixel_format = PIXFORMAT_JPEG;
  // Set the resolution
  config.frame_size = FRAMESIZE_SVGA;

  esp_err_t err = esp_camera_init(&config);
  if (err != ESP_OK) {
    Serial.printf("Camera init failed with error 0x%x", err);
    return;
  }
  Serial.println("Camera initialized successfully");
}

void loop() {
  // Start video streaming
  Serial.println("Starting video streaming");
  camera_fb_t *fb = NULL;
  esp_err_t res = ESP_OK;
  while (true) {
    fb = esp_camera_fb_get();
    if (!fb) {
      Serial.println("Failed to capture frame");
      res = ESP_FAIL;
      break;
    }
    // Send the frame to serial port
    Serial.write(fb->buf, fb->len);
    // Release the memory
    esp_camera_fb_return(fb);
  }
  // Stop video streaming
  Serial.println("Stopping video streaming");
}

This code initializes the ESP32-CAM camera and starts video streaming using the esp_camera_fb_get() function. The frames are then sent to the serial port using the Serial.write() function. You can adjust the camera settings such as resolution and quality in the camera_config_t struct. Note that video streaming can be resource-intensive and may require additional optimization for better performance.

This code initializes the ESP32-CAM camera and captures a photo using the esp_camera_fb_get() function. The photo is then sent to the serial port using the Serial.write() function. You can adjust the camera settings such as resolution and quality in the camera_config_t struct.
