Hey! I’m having issues connecting my ESP32Cam in any way - i’ve tried everything from pressing buttons to installing extra drivers would anybody know any kind of fix for this - i’d like to install AI ON THE EDGE but i cannot get the esp to connect.

It’s giving out Wi-Fi i can see it listed but i cannot add a code to it & it gives me the same error or write timeout

On my laptop whichever port i input the cable into it shows COM-4 port & doesn’t seem to change

Hello LiveYourLifeNerd,

Frequently Asked Questions — ESPHome .
Are you using Windows or Linux, because I have no ideas with Mac.

  • Windows you likely need to load the driver for the serial chip you are trying to talk to. You MUST use edge or chrome, no other browsers will likely work.
  • If you are using Linux, does the user trying to flash it have permission for dialout? Also you have to use chrome.
    If you try to load something and it can’t talk to the chip, the pop-up (unless you have it blocked) tells you all this.

You are not using esphome, so why tag your post esphome?

did you plug it in LOL

what about when you do plug it did you hold down the other buttons on the board cause some of them need to be put into a difference mode on startup

The solution as of right now i have found is that you must press both reset & I00 buttons on the ESP to put it in download mode which will then allow you to install anything on it.

I am now facing another issue where the SD Card causes a flashing red light as i’m trying to setup AI ON THE EDGE
