Esp32 Cam with error in monitor

I know alot of people are having problems with the esp32 cam. One thing I did to validate that the unit is working is to try other sketches or python codes. I used this code just to test that the unit works. I know it does not test all of the pins & if there is code out there to test all pins please forward. I believe all vendor should make a diag code to validate that the item you purchase works as intended. One of the biggest issue is trying to figure out if the board is any good.

If I find code that works with the cam I will post. I ended up here due to error

E (888) camera: Camera probe failed with error 0x105(ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND)
Camera init failed with error 0x105

// ledPin refers to ESP32-CAM GPIO 4 (flashlight)
const int ledPin = 4;

void setup() {
  // initialize digital pin ledPin as an output
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
  delay(2000);
  digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  delay(2000);
}

So I got my cam working with the CameraWebServer Ino sketch. What I did wrong was not select the correct cam in the "Select camera model" section of the CameraWebServer Sketch.

So if you use that sketch CameraWebServer you'll need to change 3 things.
1."Select Camera model",
2. Enter your ssid
3. Enter you password

My board settings were the following.

  1. A thinker esp-32 cam
  2. Cpu-Freq 240mhz
  3. Flash Freq 80mhz
  4. Flash mode QIO
  5. Select your com port

Then upload the code.

Hope this helps someone.

You could always look up your error code here.
