Interfacing ESP32 CAM with L293D Motor Driver Shield

CIRCUIT DIAGRAM IS IN THE VIDEO AT 01:49 PLEASE SEE THAT
Using an ESP32 CAM (camera module) with an L293D motor driver shield allows you to control motors while capturing images or videos with the camera. Here's a basic guide to help you get started. Please note that the exact connections and code may vary depending on the specific ESP32 board, camera module, and motor driver shield you have
ESP32 CAM Connections:
Power and Ground:
Connect the power and ground of the ESP32 CAM to the corresponding pins on your ESP32 board.
The ESP32 CAM may require a stable power supply, especially when capturing images. Ensure that the power supply can provide enough current.
Camera Module:
Connect the camera module to the ESP32 CAM. The camera module usually includes pins for power, ground, and data.
L293D Motor Driver Shield Connections:
Motor Connections:
Connect the motors to the output pins of the L293D motor driver shield.
Typically, there are two output pins per motor on the motor driver shield (for controlling the direction) and an enable pin (for controlling the speed). Connect these pins to the corresponding motor terminals.
Motor Driver Input Connections:
Connect the input pins of the motor driver shield to the GPIO pins on the ESP32. These pins are used to control the direction and speed of the motors. Adjust these connections based on your code and pin assignments.
Example for Motor A:
Enable Pin (EN_A): Connect to a GPIO pin (e.g., MOTOR_A_EN).
Input 1 (IN1_A): Connect to a GPIO pin (e.g., MOTOR_A_IN1).
Input 2 (IN2_A): Connect to a GPIO pin (e.g., MOTOR_A_IN2).
Repeat for Motor B.
Power Supply:
If the motors require a higher voltage than the ESP32 can provide, connect a separate power supply to the motor driver shield. Ensure that the ground of the motor driver and the ESP32 are connected.
Ground Connection:
Connect the ground of the ESP32 to the ground of the motor driver shield.
