Problem with Esptool.py and cam_hal

[richardgotthard]

Hi i'm kind of new to ESP32S3 but i occasionally get problems with flashing towards the camera using my ESP-IDF project.

I'm flashing using a USB-C cable but only sometimes after readjusting the cable it works. I've also tried using different cables as well as different LILYGO S3- devices. When it occasionally work i get connection problems with cam_hal :

Does this have something to do with a cable i'm using or with the PMU in some way? Would appreciate any help possible.

Did you configure and turn on the voltage of the camera correctly? If not, you must turn on the working voltage of the camera before it can work normally. For how the PMU works in idf, please refer to XPowersLib

[richardgotthard]

Hi i did not configure that. I added it to my components in my project. When i set my PMU pins, how do i know which ones are correct to Lilygo s3?

[lewisxhe]

There are pin definitions here, you only need to configure the correct SDA, SCL, and the camera's Pin

https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-Cam-ESP32S3/blob/master/examples/AllFunction/utilities.h

[richardgotthard]

I leave the pins to SDA, SCL and interupt as it is. But when i configure the file with power.h and power.cpp i get the following message when i boot up:

I (1400) sccb: sccb_i2c_port=1 I (1404) gpio: GPIO[39]| InputEn: 0| OutputEn: 1| OpenDrain: 0| Pullup: 0| Pulldown: 0| Intr:0 I (1443) camera: Detected camera at address=0x30 E (1444) sccb: SCCB_Write Failed addr:0x30, reg:0xff, data:0x01, ret:-1 I (1445) ov2640: Mismatch PID=0xff E (1449) camera: Detected camera not supported. E (1454) camera: Camera probe failed with error 0x106(ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED) Camera init failed with error 0x106I (1462) FTP: connectFtpClient

I have the following configuration with power.cpp and power.h in the same project. I added the information from utilities.h inside my camera_pins.h, set configuration in setup.cpp and intialize "setuppower()" inside main together with a simple camera_init_function.

[richardgotthard]

I was able to correct this in the end by adding serial output-library in the project... So there are no more issues regarding this!

Thank you for the help!
