Hello
I’ve been trying to get the camera going for this board in esphome.site and I’m not getting any warning at build or flash but on bootup the camera component doesn’t start up correctly.
I’m hoping someone might have some insights for me.

I’ve set that aside for now. I’ll post if I get it working. Seems to be luck to the draw with espcams functionnality/compatibility
I had the same error until I added in the external components section below.
This worked for me:

@quersane thx! You saved my day. I already thought my camera was broken. I took the longer path and flashed the Arduino tutorial with the camera web server onto the board to verify it is working and didn’t find any other help until I found your reply here :).

For snorts and giggles GPIO48 is a ws2812 led
light:
- platform: neopixelbus
type: GRB
variant: WS2812
pin: GPIO48
num_leds: 60
name: "NeoPixel Light
"
Also if you want to control the “blink led”
- platform: gpio
pin: GPIO2
name: "USB LED"
It took a bit for me to really understand the above I purchased an ali special esp32-s3-wroom-1 look a ton like the freenove but is not at all the same I think. Your code above with some slight adjustments seems to still work. So thank you all.esp32-s3
I purchased also I am using a ov2640 fisheye camera.
I was struggling for anyone who cares here is my code that is working 2024-06-22

Anyone got an OV5640 camera working? This code works fine with the ov2640 but the 5640 has a purple tint. If I lower the mgz to 12 it is better but still has a green and purple tint
Actually it is an esp32-s3 wroom board

Depending on which ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 you have, you may be able to get it working without using an external component. I have the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 N8R8 which has Quad SPI Flash, but Octal SPI PSRAM. To enable PSRAM (using the Arduino Framework) I needed to add the following to the “esphome:” section.
esphome:
...
platformio_options:
board_build.arduino.memory_type: qio_opi
This tells the compiler to configure PlatformIO to use the proper configuration to enable PSRAM on this board. Once that is done, the external component you are using should not be required. (all it does is change PSRAM to DRAM in esp32_camera.cpp - and it is a little out of date - so there are a few other differences)
Note, if you do try this, make sure to do a “Clean Build Files” before you build and upload. (that option can be found in the 3 bullet menu for your device on ESPHome Builder dashboard).
I created a full post for my configuration at: Esp32-s3-wroom-1 N8R8 (Freenove) camera board with PSRAM working
