I'm having some troubles with my esp32 cam. It fell off on the ground and now when I clic on the reset button it doesn't initialize anymore ; I have this output on the serial monitor :

However, I can still upload code in it normally.

So my question is : Is it broken ? And if no, what should I do ?

Well if it worked, you dropped it, and now it does not work that does suggest its broken.

What the problem is would depend on what you mean by "it doesn't initialize anymore".

3

I mean I assume it is broken but since I can still upload code normally, I have hope that it's not broken and someone can help me to fix it.

It basically means the code doesn't run, so the camera doesn't work !

4

If the CPU is fine, then code can be uploaded to it but the camera itself may be damaged or one of its supporting components. You now have a ESP32 WROVER with a limited number of pins.

5

And if the camera or SD had failed you would expec the demo code to report the fail on the Serial monitor.

6

Yeah I just tested a pir on it and it worked, so did the embeded LEDs. I guess the problem is with the camera..

Fair enough !
The right output at the end should be something like
"camera is ready ! use http://"IP"
So let's wait and see if someone else knows what's that output i'm getting now is about :slight_smile: !

Did you try to reseat the camera connector?

9

If you mean removing the camera and putting it back then yes I tried !

10

Your conclusion is?

11

Well, I can upload code in it so the cpu is fine. The LEDs work as well, but when I run a code that involves the camera it doesn't work, so i guess conclusion is only the camera is broken.

Would've liked to know the exact meaning of that output on the serial monitor though !

Thank you guys for your help :slight_smile:

That's a normal boot printout of a ESP32

Yes it is. But it's not the full output supposed to appear. Like I said when it works normally the end should be Camera is ready ! use http://"The ip"

Which leads us to the conclusion that the camera is probably damaged :slight_smile:
