Overview

The code controls an ESP32-CAM and integrates various libraries for different functionalities:

• Camera control and streaming
• WebSockets for real-time communication
• Sensor readings for BME280 and VL53L1X

Dependencies

The code utilizes several libraries:

• Adafruit BME280 for environmental sensing
• Adafruit VL53L1X for distance measurements
• AsyncTCP and ESPAsyncWebServer for asynchronous handling
• ArduinoJson for JSON handling
• Adafruit SSD1306 and Adafruit GFX for OLED display

Functionality

The code provides functionalities for:

• Websocket server setup
• Live camera streaming
• Reading sensor data (temperature, pressure, altitude, humidity, distance)
• Controlling the ESP32-CAM remotely via WebSocket commands

Setup

1. Configure the ESP32-CAM board with specified GPIO pins
2. Connect to Wi-Fi network
3. Run the server on port 80
4. Initialize sensors and camera configuration
5. Handle WebSocket events and incoming client commands

Web Interface

The code serves a simple web interface for:

• Displaying sensor readings in real-time
• Providing controls for the ESP32-CAM (light, photo capture, reset)

Camera Configuration

The configCamera() function initializes the camera settings required for capturing frames.

WebSocket Events

• webSocketEvent() handles WebSocket events like client connection, disconnection, and incoming text data.
• Processes client commands received via WebSocket, performs actions based on the received commands.

Sensor Data Handling

• Reads sensor data at specified intervals and sends it via WebSocket when available.
• Shows sensor data on an OLED display.

Control Functions

• Manages functionalities triggered by client commands (e.g., light control, photo capture, automatic photo mode, reset).
