I have purchased this ESP32-S3 model with camera adapter which works fine with these settings
esphome:
name: $hostname
platformio_options:
board_build.arduino.memory_type: qio_opi
esp32:
board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
framework:
type: arduino`
but I cannot get the camera to power off during deep sleep and therefore have too high power consumption during sleep:
with camera connected
my camera setting are these:
esp32_camera:
external_clock:
pin: GPIO15
frequency: 20MHz
i2c_pins:
sda: GPIO4
scl: GPIO5
data_pins: [GPIO11, GPIO9, GPIO8, GPIO10, GPIO12, GPIO18, GPIO17, GPIO16]
vsync_pin: GPIO6
href_pin: GPIO7
pixel_clock_pin: GPIO13
power_down_pin: GPIO42 # tried 21 14 46 03 47 41
# Image settings
resolution: 1600x1200
max_framerate: 1fps
idle_framerate: 0.02fps
jpeg_quality: 10
name: ESP32 Camera
The camera wont be powered down.
I found the schematics and Pin outs here.
there is a OV PWDN listed but I could not figure out which GPIO it is connected.
power_down_pin: GPIO42 # tried 21 14 46 03 47 41
I tried several but could not get it to work.
Maybe this board does not allow a power down?
Any help is much appreciated.
