ESP32-cam (AI brand) to Arduino IDE connection issue via development board. #52

Closed pixel-park closed 1 month ago

pixel-park commented 1 month ago

I ordered 10 esp32-cam modules of this brand. (as shown in the first image on the wiki page)

Unfortunately, none of them are working using a standard developer board while my other esp32-cam modules work with it perfectly fine.

I did order and try a USB to TTL converter but it didn't work for me as well.

Any idea how to fix that and if anyone else had a similar issue with this particular brand?

You can check the video below, the first board is of another brand name, and the second board is "AI" and as you will see it shows an error message after a while trying to connect and upload the code to this board.

Unlike other esp32-cam brands, here when you need to switch to programming mode, you need to press and keep IO0 button on the development board and then hit the Reset button on the esp32-cam.
