Problem with Identifying ESP32 port in arduino

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards
1

Hi.

I have purchased ESP32 camera module from a website before a week
and It was working fine until today. I tried to connect the microUSB cable of the ESP32 cam to the laptop on the arduino software but its not detected there and I got what is shown in this image:

the strange thing that I noticed that: when I connected the arduino cable, the arduino software
detected it. but the esp32 cam its not detecting it anymore.

Note that:

  • I have replaced the USB cable with a new one that support data transmission as
    written in its box but didn't work.
  • I have tried to use another laptop and didn't work.
  • I have tried to change the USB port, didn't work.
  • I have re-installed the arduino.
  • My connection was:
    5V of the arduino = 5V of the ESP32.
    GND of arduino = GND of ESP32.
    TX of arduino = TX of ESP32.
    RX of arduino = RX of ESP32.
    Also, I have connected the GND and reset terminals of the arduino together
    and connected GND and reset terminals of ESP32 together.
  • I tried to install some USB drivers but they didn't work for me and didn't appear in the device manager after installation.

Which Arduino do you use? I'd think that an ESP32 cam is designed for use with an ESP32 controller.

Arduino Uno. I saw many people used it with ESP32 in the youtube for IoT projects
and It was working with me until this day.

The Serial I/O of an Uno can be used for PC connection or for another serial device, but not both at the same time. One solution is a SoftwareSerial for the device, but it will be very slow and unreliable.
