ESP32 cam programming error

Hi, Im trying to setup a few ESP32 cameras, and 2 worked fine, but the 3rd one keep giving me an error :frowning:

"Skissen bruker 1498113 bytes (47%) av program lagrings minnet. Maks er 3145728 bytes
Globale variabler bruker 70800 bytes (21%) av dynamisk minne, som etterlater 256880 bytes til lokale variabler. Maks er 327680 bytes.

A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: No serial data received.

This is the info Im getting from the serial monitor, so as far I can see, the board is connected? Using a ESP32-CAM bord, with a ESP32-CAM-MB USB board for programming. Have tried 3 different USB boards, same error :frowning:

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

If you have 3 identical ESP32CAMs, from the same source, and you are programming them in the same way and two respond but the third does not, then its most likely the third is broken.

bought from 2 different sellers, but look the same?

Did the one on the left of the bottom picture fail to program ?

yes, the one with HW on it didnt want to program :frowning:

Any suggestions? :slight_smile:

The obvious one, did you try and program the failing one, without the SD card inserted ?

hehe yes :slight_smile:
