Camera does not initialize

[reymalahay]

hi there,

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. i can successfully compile and upload the example for object detection. but the camera does not initialize, therefore my camera cannot perform object detection. instead, i get this error in the logs:

2:47:04.640 -> __EDGE IMPULSE FOMO (NO-PSRAM)__

Describe the solution you'd like the camera should initialize during setup().

Describe alternatives you've considered n/a

Additional context device: ESP32-WROVER OS: Linux IDE: Arduino Studio

please advise.

thanks in advance, rey malahay

Looks like the camera cannot be found. Please post a link to the board you're using. Is the default CameraWebServer example working?

hi @eloquentarduino ,

thank you for the response.

up until arduino-esp32 version 2.0.0 the examples worked fine, the CameraWebServer example works fine. then from arduino-esp32 version 2.0.1 the camera is not detected.

the board details for ESP32-Wrover can be found here

thanks in advance, rey malahay

hi @eloquentarduino,

i raised this ESP32 WRover issue with Edge Impulse, and they said that they do not currently support the ESP32-WRover board. but they did give me an alternative solution. details here

kind regards, rey malahay

The error you get is not related to Edge Impulse at all. It fails at initializing the camera. You linked to the ESP32 chip you're using, but since you are having troubles with the camera, I guess you're using a board with a camera. Can you link to that board? I develop on espressif core 2.0.14.
