(This step is mandatory because there is no reset pin in the ESP32-CAM board, so we will reset it by powering it OFF). Unplug the USB cable connected to the Arduino UNO board if it’s connected.You will need to follow the below steps before programming the ESP32-CAM board every time. If you have not installed the ESP32 board in Arduino IDE, then you can follow our easy tutorial on:

You can skip this step and cut it in the last if you cannot predict the PCB size required.Ĭonnect the Arduino UNO board and ESP32-CAM board to our shield.įor programming ESP32-CAM, we need to install the ESP32 board package in Arduino IDE. Starting with the prototyping PCB board, if you are using Arduino UNO like us, you can cut the PCB of the size of the UNO board. Let’s Start Building ESP32-CAM Programming Shield We have also added the small bulk capacitor of 100uF to provide a stable power supply to the ESP32-CAM board. Additionally, we can provide power to the ESP32-CAM board from the programmer board’s USB port. We have connected the Reset pin of the programmer board to the GND(ground) so that the controller of the programmer board will be in reset mode when we put the shield on them.Īnd the remaining we have connected programmer boards UART pins to the ESP32-CAM board so that the programmer board acts as USB to UART converter and will program the ESP32-CAM board. You can check more on such strapping pins of ESP32 at their Github repo.įor switching between bootloader mode and normal mode, we have placed a push to ON/OFF switch between GPIO 0 pin and GND pin of the ESP32-CAM board.

The only way to put ESP32 into serial bootloader mode is by providing logic 0 to GPIO 0 pin while ESP32 resets. Therefore the basic schematic will be standard for all boards.Īs discussed earlier that for programming ESP32-CAM, it is necessary to put ESP32-CAM into serial bootloader mode. Just follow the connection given below to program your ESP32-CAM board using FTDI.Īs you have noticed, all the above schematics are pretty much the same, and just the programmer boards are different. After this, we can use any USB to UART converter for programming ESP32-CAM. We can do that by connecting GPIO 0 pin to GND(ground) on reset.

❑ Getting Familiar With Arduino IDE How To Program ESP32-CAM?ĮSP32-CAM board has ESP32 module + Ov2640 camera module therefore, the programming can be done similar to ESP32.īefore programming, ESP32 should be in programming mode (boot mode). If you are not aware, then follow our easy to follow step by step guide on: Additionally, you should be familiar with Arduino IDE.

In this tutorial, we have assumed that you have the essential skill of soldering. It will sometimes work if we select board as ESP32 Wrover module.Īrduino UNO with standard USB to UART converter IC such as CH3401 will work perfectly. Note:- We have tested Arduino UNO boards that have ATmega16U IC (for USB to UART conversion) will not work for this shield. We will use Arduino UNO in this tutorial.

Therefore in this tutorial, we will build a DIY shield that will help in programming ESP32-CAM quickly, and we will also discuss different ways for programming ESP32-CAM. Programming ESP32-CAM With a DIY Shieldĭue to this, it is tricky to program the ESP32-CAM board.Let’s Start Building ESP32-CAM Programming Shield.
