I have an ESP 32-CAM that I can’t seem to get working.
With a basic flash from ESPHome it comes online and and I can get to the device status page. (all the code below with the “esp32_camera” component commented out)
When I flash it with the “esp32_camera” component, it seems to connect for a bit but the connection goes dead. (log below the code) Have to flash it with the basic code with it connected to my laptop via serial to bring it back to life.
I’ve tried all the configurations shown on the Cam Component page but none of them work.
The only identifying thing on the board shows “ESP32-S” (image at bottom)
Any ideas how to get this thing up and running?
