Does anyone know of a good picture showing what to run from the ESP32 CAM to the Nano?
Erh ?
How can anyone answer that, without knowing what you are trying to do ?
In particular why would one be running between the Nano and the ESP32 CAM, are you in a hurry, are they far apart ?
how do we know?
as @srnet asked in post 2 what are you trying to do?
Are you trying to use a BLE to program a ESP32CAM?
Right now I want to load code so it turns on.
the ESP-CAM or the nano
if you wish to program the ESP-CAM connect it to a USB port and try loading the File>Examples>ESP32>Camera>CameraWebServer or have a look at esp32-cam-video-streaming-web-server-camera-home-assistant
Thanks Horace -
I am trying to get both functional but the focus on the esp32 cam. I can get the Nano Sense to work sometimes but have been problems getting it to recognize all commands. It will load programs like blink and run them but I still get IDE errors about communication.
I still cannot work out what you are actually trying to do.
Please understand that whilst you might know what "have been problems getting it to recognize all commands" and "I still get IDE errors about communication" means the forum does not have a clue.
Provide the details of what you are actually trying to do, and if it dont work, explain what dont work and the errors you get.
No power source.
Lets back up - first I need to know that I wired the ESP to the Sense properly. The original photo showed what I had done, the only change is that the blue and red wires to the ESP are now flipped to get proper Rx and Tx wiring. I can't apply power to the cam without the correct wiring because there is no way to apply power directly.
Second, I need to figure out why the Sense will load code but I get errors from the IDE (using V2).
Once that is resolved then I can start trying to load code into the ESP, but it looks like I may need to use a micro SD to do so.
After that the Nano needs to be uploaded with the proper sketch to get images.
Then once the Sense is operational I need to load code for the Nano Sense and the ESP 32 cam to work together.
For informed help, please read and follow the directions in the "How to get the best out of this forum" post.
The Nano is still giving me problems and each time, regardless of the port in use, these come up.

Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 1
have you selected the correct board undel Tools>Board as Arduino Nano 33 BLE?
if you run the Windows device manager expand Ports (COM & LPT) and you unplug/plugin the USB connector does the COM port disappear/appear?
in the Arduino IDE select File>Preferences and enable "Verbose output during Compiling and upload" then compile and attempt to upload your program again
if there are problem upload the error messages as text
I currently am unable to locate ports - com - Ports (COM & LPT) - COM & LPT or variations. However when I plug in and remove a webcam the device will show up and dissappear from Devices and Printers.
Additionally I can not get ports to pull up in the terminal window, of course I may be doing something wrong to get active ports, but neither my Linux Mint or Windows 7 machine will show the IDE as active when I plug in the Nano Sense.
