Would like to see a video of this working with Arc

I did get the camera working with a FTDI adapter and Arduino code I found

works great

thanks

@EZAng, you've asked this question a number of times in various threads. Please do not repeat across threads 

Your question was answered here: https://synthiam.com/Firmware/ESP32-Cam-EZB-5KUNP4UTSW0

Thank DJ

followed your instruction above

I got the ESP32 cam working on ARC also now

Used the FTDI adapter to upload, same setting as when I used the Arduino code instructions..

EzAng

On this chart, where are the DX pins?

D1 = gpio1 d2 = gpio2 d3 = gpio3  etc

*Note: For servo use with EZ-Cam, only pins D2, D12, D13, D14, D15 are recommended.

Tried D12 with GPIO 12 - just got the servo to work -

Camera works good

Find ports that work with your version. They're all different. All versions of the ESP 32 cam are different.

In the esp32 Cam:

Tried D12 with GPIO 12 - D13, and D15 work also

Camera and servos work

What esp32cam do you use? That’ll be worth mentioning so it adds context to the list of ports you’re providing

this is the camera I purchased;

that looks the same as mine. Strange

Nink, what version is yours? Does it look the same?

I found some Arduino code that makes a webserver, form serial monitor I get 192.168.1.17, put it in a browser, I get this:

If you want the code just let me know

I am new in this, and trying to setup ESP32 Cam for ARC use. There is problem during compilation of ESP32 Cam firmware in Arduino IDE, on the end I get lot of error messages

Hey @DJ  Just downloaded this version and the serial monitor isn't showing my IP and ezb scanner can't find so had to login to my router (and that's fine) what is strange when I connect and disconect it shows the wrong IP of the host it shows an 80.163.252.XXX address.  I removed the last digits cause not sure what it is but its not me and it appears to be Denmark?

16:26:24.857 -> Client ezb connected from 80.163.252.XXX 16:26:24.857 -> EZB Client disconnected 16:26:24.898 -> Waiting for ezb client... 16:27:43.922 -> Client ezb connected from 80.163.252.XXX 16:28:15.861 -> EZB Client disconnected 16:28:15.908 -> Waiting for ezb client... 16:28:54.883 -> Client ezb connected from 80.163.252.XXX 16:29:20.268 -> Client cam connected from 192.168.72.60

I can not compile the firmware in arduino and receive below error. Any advice on this?

call of overloaded 'analogWrite(byte&, long int)' is ambiguous

analogWrite(port, map(pos, 0, 100, 0, 255));

Sometimes arduino ide’s change some things. Usually this error pops up a lot. You will need to cast the value to a byte (byte). Not sure why some ide’s do that. But I guess that’s why it’s free

DJ, So how should this call be changed to correct the following error?  So I can get this to compile correctly?

/Users/shawn/Documents/Arduino/EZ_ESP32_CAM/EZ_ESP32_CAM.ino: In function 'void doEZProtocol()':
/Users/shawn/Documents/Arduino/EZ_ESP32_CAM/EZ_ESP32_CAM.ino:755:49: error: call of overloaded 'analogWrite(byte&, long int)' is ambiguous
       analogWrite(port, map(pos, 0, 100, 0, 255));
                                                 ^

Answered above. Cast port to a byte. Or map to a byte. One of the two needs to be a byte with your compiler.

So I changed it to this and it compiled...

analogWrite(port, byte(map(pos, 0, 100, 0, 255)));

Haha man arduino is so weird. So byte() is also a function? That’s hilarious

I would have expected traditional C to be

analogWrite(port, (byte)map(pos, 0, 100, 0, 255));

but they have a byte() and probably an int() and such ha too funny

DJ Sures PRO your solution has compiled for me, thanks
