Issue with ESP32cam
Worked fine at first...
Sad... I may of hooked it up wrong a few days ago. Can it take 6V to the pin screen printed as 5V? I assume yes becasue I saw a VR on board. It is a AITHINKER model.
Pretty much the example sketch used.... times out...
I tried 3.3 to the VCC, then 5V to VCC from an esp32 (dummy shorted to reset), then moved that to 5V on cam, then trashed that 32 and used an 8266. I then tried switching Tx and Rx. Nothing. LED blinks when it is reset. Oh, GP0 is grounded.
Oh, actually now the LED is dimmly flashing brighter about 2hz 10% duty. Stil bright blink on reset. Serial mon is quiet.
Broke - know i had another module but forgot what i did with it!!
