Hi Peter!
I’ve connected an OV2640 camera to the WeAct board featuring the RP2350B (along with 6MB of PSRAM). I get an image using the commands:
"Camera open ov2640 gp40,gp41,gp42,gp43,gp44,gp30" and
"Camera capture".
So, everything is fine up to that point. Unfortunately, I cannot use the "Camera capture jpeg" command.
Your "Motion Detector" program crashes with the message:
"Camera capture jpeg s$,sxga
Error: I2C failure". Only "Camera" is listed under "List Commands".
Is "Camera capture jpeg" not included in the firmware I flashed onto the RP2350B? Here are my options:

'PicoMite MMBasic RP2350B V6.03.00
'OPTION SYSTEM SPI GP6,GP3,GP4
'OPTION SYSTEM I2C GP38,GP39
'OPTION FLASH SIZE 16777216
'OPTION COLOURCODE ON
'OPTION PICO OFF
'OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 200000
'OPTION LCDPANEL ILI9341, LANDSCAPE,GP7,GP2,GP5
'OPTION TOUCH GP14,GP15
'GUI CALIBRATE 0, 137, 268, 897, 666
'OPTION SDCARD GP8
'OPTION PSRAM PIN GP47

Program:
1K ( 0%) Program (43 lines)
299K (100%) Free

Saved Variables:
16K (100%) Free

RAM:
75K ( 1%) 3 Variables
160K ( 2%) General
6256K (97%) Free

And one more question on the subject: I keep seeing an image that is upside down, no matter how I rotate the camera. Is this due to the camera settings?

I would really appreciate any help from you or the others!
