I am worried because I can't connect my ESP-32 CAM AI Thinker without experiencing many errors.
- A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header
*I have checked my wiring muiltiple times and cannot seem to get it to flash
- I have tried using the Arduino Uno as well to program the board, but it completely shuts off as well ( see point #2.2 for details)
- the power regulator on the esp-32 cam gets too hot
*It not connected to anything but the FTDI Adapter, which is connected to the USB Cable, meaning it is getting power from the USB
*I have tried switching the usb cables, but the short one I think shortcircuits the board (the brownout detecter isn't triggered, but it will litterally turn off)
*I have measured the voltage from the FTDI Adapter, which is normal, and measured the power regulater, with pins 1 and 3 producing 5 volts but 1 and 2 produce zero volts. I'm not sure it that means the regulator is broken or if it is normal because I am using 5v and not 3.3v.
Please let me know so I can buy a new one if it's broken asap.
