Noob mistake esp-32 cam (help)

Hi , Big Noob mistake when flashing esp32-cam, i enabled the erase all flash before sketch uploaded, thinking it would erase the previous sketch. Now i cant connect to the AI Thinker esp-32 camera web server. Is it bricked?

Unless your html code is in a spiffs partition where you would have to upload it to spiffs. But I believe that the html code is in memory with the main program as an include file. What is your baud rate for downloads (or uploads) to the esp32

hi ```
Baud-rate = 115200
thank s for the info, sorry iam a noob n dont understand.
can it be fixed ?

Are you getting a succesfull download to the esp32 ?
The ip address can change. Are you are reading the address from the serial monitor and typing that address into the browser ?

yes i can add sketch to the esp32 cam.
but there is no ip address coming from it

That suggests that the ESP32-CAM can't connect to your router or AP. Put in some print statements to follow the process.

Clear the area around the antenna on the ESP32-CAM PCB. You may have a brownout problem, too, if the power supply is inadequate. The WiFi transmitter requires a lot of current.

it was working up till i flashed it.

Understood. That does not change the fact that you have some debugging to do.

For example, if wires are loose, just wiggling them can create all sorts of unexpected problems. So make no assumptions about what might be wrong.

You might try posting on the Espressif forum.

flashing it should not of changed anything unless mistakenly flashed with the wrong program. You should be getting status messages from the serial monitor. What does it say ? copy and paste it in your response. For example, look at all the text i get on serial monitor when I connect.

just re flashed it with MQQT Tasmota iv got an ip address
will look at that console for activity , still no camera working.

Feel free to post again when you have confirmed a repeatable issue, explain the steps you have taken to debug the problem and describe the results obtained.

Or mark the thread "solved".

just trying to get to the problem and eliminating things that don t work , i didnt no it was a closed shop.

In the future, please read and follow the instructions in the "How to get the best out of the forum" post.

Have fun with your project!

i did read it here is what it say
