Connect oak D cam to a ethernet network?

erik

Hello julienbayle , if you would only need spatial coordinates, you could use an OAK IOT device as well, and stream them via WiFi (from ESP32).
Thanks, Erik

erik Actually, we already got OAK-D. This is the reason of my questions.
So, as far as I understood, OAK-D doesn't embed wifi module. I got it.
I hope we'll have time for investigating and add something to the OAK-D for making it wifi enable.

Thanks a lot for your answers.

I know Raspberry PI CM4 can do wifi or not (this is optional).
does OAK-D-CM4 (https://docs.luxonis.com/projects/hardware/en/latest/pages/DM1097.html) got wireless option ?

Thanks a lot

Hello julienbayle , correct, OAK-D doesn't have wifi module. The OAK-D-CM4 has wireless CM4 on-board (PN: CM4104008), so you could use that as well - or get a RPI4 and connect OAK-D to it.
Thanks, Erik

erik is there working codes somewhere for the option OAK-D + RPI4 ? I mean, does-it use SPI ? or what ?

erik

julienbayle you just connect it to the USB and use RPi4 as any other computer host (eg laptop/PC). So you can use any example/tutorial/experiment/demo and it should work.

erik ok. thanks a lot. Cost wise, the ESP32 way could be better.
Last (but not least) question: would you already have codes that would allow people tu use OAK-D with an ESP32 in that case ?

OAK-D would capture frames, analyze persons data, and spread the message over wifi through esp32.
I'm just trying to evaluate the cost of that SPI communications development if it would have been done already.

Hello julienbayle regarding the OAK-D-IOT and ESP32, we do have a few demo apps here. You are right, RPi 3 would work as well.

julienbayle

or maybe wouldn't it be out-of-the-box way to use a Raspberry 3 ? (cheaper)

Hello,
Has anyone tried connecting one of the 802.11ah modules based wifi? I am wondering if ESP32 is possible then up and coming (at its own speed!) 802.11ah Halow Wifi modules should work too in principal. I have not opened up my Oak-D modules yet so could you confirm if SDIO interface is available or not? The WIFI dev board that i want to test supports SDIO interface and so trying to gauge if it would work....

Hi HS1 ,
In general, the IOT line and the SPI support are community support only (additional info here), but I will leave it to community for any additional input.
Thanks, Erik
