CAT - Cats dancing outside of my window. What a racket they made. I have to put up with these for another few months. They need to dig deeper. An eight storeys apartments block will be ready in 2022. Oh well!
These are the type of ESP32-CAM boards I was working with. The one on the right marked with DM was not working. I was not able to flash micropython to it and was not able to connect with it using esptool. I can see some output from it using picocom. I am interested to know if someone has had success working with DIY MORE board.
I have managed to build micropython with camera support from the latest revision of micropython from GitHub. People at micropython.org are doing a great job in providing firmware for different types of ESP8266 and ESP32 boards. But, I can not see firmware for ESP32-CAM though.
I did my compiling works on a Linux Mint machine. You have to install all the necessary tools to be able to compile.
I uploaded the newly compiled firmware to my GitHub repository. In that repository, one can also find explanations and all necessary files needed for compiling camera modules into micropython. So go get it at https://github.com/shariltumin/esp32-cam-micropython/tree/master/esp32-cam.
I will compile and upload a new version of micropython firmware from time to time. I am waiting for micropython 1-12 to be available.
I highly recommend using rshell for files administration when experimenting with any esp boards. You do not need picocom, rshell has REPL mode. You can get your copy at https://github.com/dhylands/rshell.
This is the live video of 'cats dancing', outside of my apartment window, taken using the newly compiled micropython with the latest esp-idf. Take note that this firmware does not contain webrepl and upip modules.
I hope they will finish digging soon 😠.
