This is the code I'm using, Everytime I try to program it I get a serial data not received error. It was working after my last post when I got the gnd hooked up right I let it sit a few days now i get this serial data not received error.
I have a jumper between I/O 0 , I'm pressing the button before I upload, what an I doing wrong?
Leave gp0 connected to ground and after software starts communication press the reset button ( sometimes it does not work, so retry ),
Is ftdi set to 3.3V?
Ftdi is set to 5v, my power supply is set at 5v 2 A max, are you saying hit the reset button when the ide says uploading?
Press the boot button when the connecting message appears. You can also press it before then. NOTE, it is finicky, just because it doesn't work once does NOT mean it will not work on the 10th try.
esp32 is powered at 3.3V so your ftdi output logic level shoud be compatible, if you have a jumper ( on the ftdi board ) that sets the logic level voltage set it at 3.3V
your schematic in post 1 is missing detail
for example are TX and RX pins GPIO1 TX_0 and GPIO3 RX_0?
what is the FTDI logic levels 5V or 3.3V?
what if you remove all the external modules and power the ESP32-CAM from USB? does the Arduino IDE communicate with it OK?
5v, worked the first time on 5v
TX and Rx from ftdi are to Rx and TX on cam, io 0 and gnd are connected and I have 5v power supply to the cam with a gnd to the ftdi also
