A full-featured ESP32 with a camera module and Micro SD card slot.
The OV5640 camera module contains a 1/4 inch CMOS UXGA (1632 x 1232 pixels) image sensor. It is very small in size and has a low operating voltage of 1.7 to 3.3V.
Features:
NOTE, this module does not have a USB connection. A separate serial USB module (FT232RL) is required to program it.
Installing ESP32-CAM in Arduino IDE
By default, the Arduino IDE software does not recognize the ESP32 board. To be able to program the ESP32-CAM in the Arduino IDE, it must first be installed in Arduino IDE. Follow the steps below:
That's it, now you can get started with the ESP32-CAM.
Also watch the Youtube video we added with the step-by-step explanation in English.
Connecting the FT232RL to the ESP32-CAM
To connect the FT232RL to the ESP32-CAM, you can use the following diagram:
Important: GPIO 0 must be connected to GND so that the code can be uploaded.
| ESP32-CAM | FT232RL |
|---|---|
| GND | GND |
| 5V | VCC (5V) |
| U0R | TX |
| U0T | RX |
| GPIO 0 | GND |
| PSRAM | 4 M |
|---|---|
| SRAM | 520 KB |
| Clock speed | 240 MHz |
| Resolution | 1632 x 1232 pixels |
| Interface | UART/SPI/I2C/PWM/ADC/DAC |
| Operating voltage | 1.7 to 3.3V |
| Connectivity | WiFi 802.11b/g/n, Bluetooth/BLE |
Works right away. With the MB underneath, the WiFi antenna performs worse. Tip: use an external antenna.
I use it as a webcam. Via WiFi on my network, and then I can check at work what the pets are getting up to when I'm not at home. Recently the dog thought it was necessary to knock over Aunt Mies' urn, and the cat thought the contents were a new kind of cat litter.
Very easy and quick to get started with ESP Home Builder in Home Assistant. Don’t forget the matching MB
works very well
Too bad it doesn’t come with a standard USB port. You have to buy a separate board for that.
Nice cam to experiment and program with.
