ESP32 Cam Cannot connect to WiFi

Other Hardware General Electronics
1

Hello,

I have an ESP32 Cam board with a USB. I was able to connect to WiFi and test CamWebServer just fine.
After a while, I am unable to connect to WiFi. I tested two boards multiple networks and codes with no luck. It keeps showing dots without successfully connecting.
I tested with CamerWebServer and the below code.
Any ideas ??

board link

#include "WiFi.h"
 
const char* ssid = "....";
const char* password =  ".....";
 
void setup() {
 
  Serial.begin(115200);
 
  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);
 
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi..");
  }
 
  Serial.println("Connected to the WiFi network");
 
}
 
void loop() {}

Maybe try the esp8266wifi.h library.

Hi,
It is always worth making 100% sure the power supply you are using is ok as they will do all sorts of weird things if they are not happy with it.
If you are using one of the motherboards to program it I have found some times the wifi signal is seriously blocked by it and if I rest my thumb above the antenna it will suddenly burst in to life (oddly on other occasions there is no need??)
I find they do not like anything near the antenna or being inside any kind of case (much more so than other esp32s I have used)

This is how I connect it to my laptop.

That is how I do it but I do some times find the motherboard blocks the wifi. Try connecting it without the motherboard and see if this gets the wifi working (i.e. via the 5v and gnd pins)
or for some reason I find if I rest my thumb on the top board (where the esp32 writing is in your image) it helps get a signal.
or of course try getting closer to the router and see if it then finds it ok

Also, you could program the onboard LED to blink every time a "." is supposed to be printed on the serial monitor. That way, you know it is connected when the LED doesn't blink, and you don't have to have it connected to your computer so you can check the serial monitor.

Did not work when I rest my thumb. I will try to connect without the motherboard.

Do you the pin number for the LED ??
I tried multiple pins did not work.

Can this cause the error?

Multiple libraries were found for "WiFi.h"
 Used: /Users/norah/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/1.0.6/libraries/WiFi
 Not used: /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Java/libraries/WiFi

These libraries

//#include "ESP32_FTPClient.h"
//#include <PubSubClient.h>
//#include <ESP32Time.h>
//#include "certs.h"

showing me a fatal error: No such file or directory

Makes sense that those libraries are causing you issue as your original code does not have those libraries. I'm sorry for including those libraries, I'd thought, that since you were not originally using them you'd just key in on the code I posted about connecting to the WiFi and skip the stuff you are not using.

The certs.h file contains my passwords and stuff, you'll not be getting a copy of that file.

Yes, it can cause error BUT that's not the error. Copy the entire error message not just a portion.

With my code there id no error
Just show this as a warning

And it keeps trying to connect….
