Wont start after upload / reset

Hi, i was just trying to upload the fw via pio, that works but after boot i get the following:

I guess the cam-model is somehow configured wrongly or sth like this

Hi Philipp,

I see this line; guess something is not right with the camera. 23:08:10.512 > [E][camera.c:222] skip_frame(): Timeout waiting for VSYNC

Are you using the right camera and, an ESP32-cam module?

[g-philipp]

I already had some problems with this error in the arduino ide, there i could change the cam model. Can i do this in pio ( i dont have experience with pio :/ )

[rzeldent]

You can try to change the camera. This is the line:

log_i("Initialize the camera");
esp32cam_aithinker_config.frame_size = FRAMESIZE_UXGA;
if (cam.init(esp32cam_aithinker_config) != ESP_OK)
    log_e("Initializing the camera failed");

You can define a new config file instead of the esp32cam_aithinker_config config in the library.

Have you connected the camera the right way around? Found out that some camera modules have a different pinout so have to be inserted facing the pcb... Just give it a try?!

[g-philipp]

Mm i tried some things but i guess my cam is broken. As i said, i had this issue before but could fix it, this time the fix didnt work so i think ill have to buy a new cam or so.

Nevertheless thanks for your help!
