📷 Songhe ESP32-CAM WiFi Module with OV2640 Camera for Arduino Development Board (3pcs) Review

Totally amazed by this product for the price. I do a lot of Arduino projects so I'm not sure if this is for everyone but if you're messing around with an advanced Arduino project this little guy is amazing. Had to add support on the board, load a few libraries and add my own USB drive to the serial board but was able to get video streaming in about 20 minutes.

Programming often fails and seems to work haphazardly without changing the programmer wiring/settings. In the Arduino IDE I used the following settings: ESP32 Wrover ModuleUpload Speed 115200Flash Frequency 40MHzFlash Mode QIOPartition Schema Huge Application (3MB no OTA/1MB SPIFFS) Kernel Debug Level None Be sure to ground and press the IO0 pin while programming Press the Reset button when the Arduino IDE console shows the connection points. Remove IO0 from ground after programming.

about half the cost of the real version, could be worse. When I received the board I couldn't get the camera to work. After examining the camera's flex cable connector under a microscope, I saw that one of the pins was loose. A little soldering fixed everything. Unfortunately, this isn't the type of repair most hobbyists can do. The soldering quality of the rest of the components is also about what you would expect.

Came with partially opened static bag and no camera. Looks like there are dents on the CPU and SD card slot. Now I have to take care of the exchange. Edit: Replaced the first one and the replacement works fine so thought I'd try again, this new board comes with header pins soldered crooked and some of them were bent, it took me a freaking long time to put it in the breadboard and i still have to try to put it in place, the picture quality is terrible with yellow and blue lines running across…

I bought this on a whim and as far as I can tell it is pins and hardware compatible with the Ai-Thinker ESP32 CAM module . If you have trouble using it, you can probably solve it with one of the tutorials developed for this module (google search). Here are some tips that can solve many of the problems that other users are complaining about: 1) The default firmware creates an access point on the device that you can connect to and view the camera image. It works, but it's useless for anything…
