# ArduCAM Example Using W55RP20 in C

> Due to the lack of C language examples for the ArduCAM library, I created a project using the W55RP20. This example provides practical guidance for developers.

## Article

The ArduCAM library is largely implemented in Python or C++, which can be limiting for developers who prefer working in C. To help bridge this gap, I created an ArduCAM example using the W55RP20 MCU with a focus on C language. You can easily integrate this project into the WIZnet-PICO-C "Example" directory to build and use it.

#### How to Use:

**Build and Flash**
Insert the ArduCAM directory provided below into the WIZnet-PICO-C project "Example" directory. Build the project and flash the resulting UF2 file onto the W55RP20 board.

**Run the Host Application**
Run **HostApp.exe** and connect to the USB port where the W55RP20 is connected.

**Capture Video or Images**
Once connected successfully, use the **Video** or **Image** button to capture the desired content from the camera.
