I am staked with this camera.
The history of this camera starts with two versions (at least) and you can distinguish them for the microphone. All the pinout changes from one to another, this is the funny point!
So I tried to copy the ESPHOME.yaml for this camera changing the PINs and I dind’t get it to work.
Minutes later I started a search in google and I found this github issue where in brief they said that you should change the pins moreover add the these sentences to the main.cpp:
V1:
pinMode(13, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(14, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(15, INPUT_PULLUP);
V2:
pinMode(12, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(13, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(14, INPUT_PULLUP);
pinMode(15, INPUT_PULLUP);
with this two modifications you should have your camera working almost in stability conditions.
So I tried everything, also changing the board from
esp-wrover-kit
to esp32dev as says in the official documentation
The only thing that I can do now is work with Arduino versions but I dont know if would work or maybe have no sense.
So here you have my cam.yaml
substitutions:
devicename: ttgocam
friendly_name: test esp32cam
esphome:
name: $devicename
platform: ESP32
board: esp-wrover-kit #also tested esp32dev
#arduino_version: 1.0.2 maybe play with this?

it.strftime(64, 64, id(tnr2), TextAlign::BASELINE_CENTER, "%H:%M", id(homeassistant_time).now());
and with this configuration and V1 / V2 of the main.src and both board types I get the same error in the serial logger:
[12:00:22][E][esp32_camera:091]: Setup Failed: ERROR
and my loverlace yalm is:

The home assistant output:
and in the UI
(I just can post one image)
Thanks! I hope to solve it!
