hi, i am in the middle of a school project where i need to use 3 cameras, i bought 3 esp32cams, and 3 OV5640 pluged it in, and nothing... i used some LLM´s to help with code but to no avail. anyone ever used this setup? ill put links of the (aliexpress) ones i bought.
it was sold as compatible but now i´m not so shure about that.
thanks for the help.
what library/software did you use? e.g. ESP32-CAM - Getting Started & Solving Common Problems
what Tools>Board did you select?
used the example avaible, and aded this link to adicional board managers
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json
try
setup your SSID and password compile link and load
when run the Serial Monitor should display
WiFi connected
Camera Ready! Use 'http://192.168.1.157' to connect
run a web client and connect to the URL and it should display the webpage
with the OV5640?
You don;t need the additional boards URL any more, Arduino provides them.
Please read the pinned post re 'How to get the most from the forum'. That is NOT how to post code, and it looks like some is missing.
is there any way you can share the code?, i contacted the shop that sold it to me but they just sent a datasheet for the camera, i´m looking into the code later today to try to fix it
i selected this model, and commented on the camera index all the models exept the OV5640, i´m still getting used to this forum

I ran the example

the example has five files .ino, .cpp and three .h
edit file board_config.h uncomment

Dude, it works! thanks a lot! i was really stressing about this.
i should i pay you a beer 
yes, it was corrected and its working now, i lost 500 pounds of weight solving this, i must really spend more time reading code and learning more
