interesting and timewise aligned with a plan to play around with a esp32-cam icm with a bunch of RPI Pico's. Regrettably, I cannot get your approach to work for me. All steps are fine (no errors, that is) but after loading the firmware, I cannot connct to the device: Thonny does see it, not by specified com-port or otherwise. Tried various options, combine connecting with pushing the IOO / RST buttons on the MB but to no avail. As I can use ESPTOOL to - for example - read the MAC of the device, the device is clearly "alive". Tried all three images provided. nb. I noted that the Micropython community has created a pull-request to add the ESP32-CAM to their range of supported devices; that will simplify getting access to Micropython. Thanks for your video; much appreciated !
Yes, I think on my friends Windows machine I could not get it to work sadly. Tried everything with no luck, sorry to disappoint everyone but didn't expect it to fall short on another bizarre operating system. Thanks for your comment buddy!
Can't make it work errors in thonny won't communicate says it is busy, already tried in 2 boards with different chip identification one is esp32-D0WD-V3 (revision 3.1) And another esp32-D0WDQ6 ( revision 1.0) Any advices ??? I already tried almost everything
I made everything exactly as on the video but when I run the code I receive "OSError: Camera Init Failed" This is second esp32-cam, so the problem with device excluded what can be wrong?
@@mmshilleh So if video streaming is out of the question, I can still send the captured image to a lightwight image captioning model to figure out what's in it? Perhaps I could get to send a signal to capture more photos on demand...

Might work better on a macbook, do you have that?
@@mmshilleh thanks for your support on this matter... sorry, I don't have a macbook but I'll try to get one to test it... thanks for the suggestion
Thank you. Great content.
Your supportive comments are always appreciated buddy! Thanks
thank you. i have a bunch of these and I hate the arduino ide
Yes so do I honestly haha
Have you tried to stream with esp 32 and micropython? Will it work smooth? Or stream will be to slow?
Yeah thats not possible! Its not fast enough sadly
Why is the custom firmware needed? Can't this all be handled with Micropython.
This is MicroPython, not all versions of it can be uploaded to this controller!
I thought the version on Micropython would be the best version to use. Thank you for the reply
Why is my image file saying it is empty? Is anyone else having this issue?
Not sure, could be hardware my friend
I made everything exactly as on the video
but
when I run the code I receive "OSError: Camera Init Failed"
This is second esp32-cam, so the problem with device excluded
what can be wrong?
Are you on a windows machine? Could be the issue lol
@@mmshilleh no no macos
@@ovmov3321 that is weird, are you sure you used the correct driver? There is more than one in the repo
@@mmshilleh 100000% and I tried several times each of them
I struggling with it third day) I tried everything 😂
@@mmshilleh is it possible to contact with you directly? maybe you will find out what I'm missing?
how to use opencv in micropython
I wouldn't even try and do that not enough compute, you can barely get a camera to stream video on this thing. I would say that is not possible
