We'll take it as it goes tonight in this last-minute live hack event. My plan is to do a few things with the ESP32 Cam and see if we can get servos with the camera at the same time. I'll play with the Intel T265 and The Navigator on one of my telepresence robots. I'll try and power the Rock Pi/X with a 5v step-down regulator that I ordered. All should be good fun
Moved the time up 30 minutes because skip the dishes...
Tonight we will be building this
Haha that's awesome!!! is that yours?
Well that esp32 was a nightmare. Really wish it wasn’t such a difficult piece of hardware to work with so I could have done the other stuff I had planned for the evening
next Time I guess!
Thanks for looking at this DJ. Sorry I wake at 4:30 as wife goes to work early so usually asleep by 10:30 so missed live. I did watch the replay. I like the auto compression. I really don’t know what is going on with servos but I will have a play again today.
The timer was shared - but i changed it in the wrong place when i was on the live hack earlier. Fixed here: https://synthiam.com/Firmware/ESP32-Cam-EZB-5KUNP4UTSW0
......i missed most of the hack..we had bad ice storm and knocked out power and utilities. Back up now...will replay video later today.
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say we appreciate the time you take out of your busy schedule to do these hacks. They both explore and inform concepts and examples for all of us to explore. We feel the same frustrations when trying to get somethings to work at times, but there is a sense of comradery when you do too. I feel these hacks have always been an important part of this community.
Ez Esp32 cam v4 works good also

Just go back and watched,
lol, would have been a shorter hack if you used the FTDI adapter for programming in the beginning

If I’m back in calgary on Friday at a decent time, I’ll do another one then
