Product Description
This listing includes both a cam-prog USB programmer (B08CGMM6SZ) as well as 1×ESP32-CAM development board (B07MDLFQH2).
The cam-prog is a simple ESP32-CAM programmer that adds the missing USB programming capabilities to the ESP32-based camera microcontroller (SoC). It implements also the boot mode selection overcoming the missing reset pin by cutting off power to the microcontroller. This simplifies the programming of the ESP32-CAM module significantly since no manual reset and boot mode selection is needed when using with a common USB to serial interface.
Usage:
The board should be detected as a common serial adapter. The CH340 drivers are usually included with the Arduino IDE. If you didn't work with the ESP32 before you also need to install the ESP32 Arduino integration.
Notes:
The pin headers need to be soldered!
Since power is cut off the serial connection will cut off too. The Arduino serial terminal from the newest version however, reconnects automatically.
