Recording audio and take images at the same time with Arduino IDE

[kriover]

Hello,

I want to use the audio library to record sounds and take a photo every second while recording. I wanted to use the MP library for multicore, but found that the audio and camera library was not supported from reading the documentation.

Is there another way for me to record audio and images at the same time with the Arduino IDE?

Thank you for any help!

Hi, @kriover

To continue using the Arduino IDE, I would encourage you to take a look at the "Blink without delay" concept. This approach will simulate running multiple things "at the same time", by calling the functions sequentially without blocking (no delay usage). And using millis() to manage the timing of activities.

Otherwise, you could try multiprocessing with the Spresense SDK.
