Allow for more pins for Cameras

ESPHome
1 

Hello, I am trying to get the camera on the M5Stack CoreS3 to work, and I noticed that the 8 data pins were connected to pins such as "XTAL_32K_P" and "XTAL_32_N" which do function as GPIO pins according to the datasheet, but they are not recognized in ESPhome.

ESP32CAM source code uses a specialized mapping of pins/GPIOs. This generally prevents their use by ESPHome.

Thanks for the info! I posted this hoping for the specialized pin mapping to be supported in ESPHome.

Where is the datasheet for the m5stack core s3?

The CoreS3 datasheet can be found here, and the pinout can be found in the “Schematic” section.

Datasheet for the Esp32-S3 itself can be found here, and the pins I am refrencing can be found in section 2.

I don’t think the esphome camera works with the GC0308 anyway.

Hi,

I am also working on implementing the CoreS3 with esphome, but the components are not wired in a straight forward way. Would you mind sharing your hardware configuration?
