Esp32 cam setup using code from this github got it programmed but says brownout and when I go to the temporary IP it says crashloop detected, using a FT23RL mini USB to ttl. i soldered the 4 wires onto the board. What am i doing wrong?
You’ll get a lot more help if the photos look like something.
Do you know what a brownout is ?
Sorry, What about the pictures? When I looked it up it said power is too low so i shortened the wires and I still had the problem.
Use an adequate power supply, and the brownout problem will go away. Something that can provide around 300 mA will be fine.
What you have now is totally inadequate.
That should work, on the 5V input for the ESP32 board. Be sure to connect all the grounds.
All the grounds? So all gnd pins on the esp32 cam, Not just the one?
Connect the ground of the power supply, the esp32 gnd and the ft23rl gnd.
Connect the +5V of the power supply to +5V of esp32 ( do not connect to ft23rl +5V )
Didn't work, powers fine but serial monitor shows crap
I tried powering VCC pin with 5 and 3.3v, psu maximums set to 5v and 2A.
I'm using a bench power supply to power an esp32 cam (5v from PSU to 5v pin and gnd to gnd) and a FT32RL to program it with.
Psu limits are 5 volts and 600mA, and the picture below is what the serial monitor shows
Same deal when powered on VCC pin with 5v and 3.3v
The unit in question, not sure what else to do
I use a pair of 18650 connected to a USB power only cable, never had a problem that way.
Please do not cross post.
Gotcha
@jake1078469, do not cross-post. Threads merged.
The schematic does not show the required ground connection between the Arduino and the serial USB converter. That omission would explain the gibberish.
Alrighty, thanks
Yes, I just re-read post 8, got the connection from the PSU to the ft32, now crap is gone, now to see if the rest of it is good
