Error Putty

I can’t connect via putty, the terminal freezes and nothing happens. Is it possible to upload this firmware via arduino somehow?

Having troubles compiling

Hello,

Good job with this really great project.
I'm facing troubles compiling your project.
Using the pre-built binaries does not fit my needs because I would like to change the param "max retry wifi reconnect" which is set by default to 5, in order to be able to handle long-loss connection issue (due to router shutdown for instance or electricity outage (>1day))

Would it be possible for you to share the way you build your project in order to get these binaries please ?

Thank you,

PS : I am not confortable at all with building C project
PS2 : I just realized you reset the board (I think) after 5 fails

ESP32-CAM-Linux-Motion/main/espcam2640.c

Line 239 in dee15f3

esp_restart(); // we just reset the board as the TCPserver will likely hang. also we can connect to different AP then.

Cannot edit wifi credentials - no serial connection possible.

Hi,

I was able to upload the code like this on Winodws 10:

C:\Users\User\Downloads\ESP32-CAM-Linux-Motion-main\binarys>python tools/esptool.py --chip esp32 --port "COM5" --baud 921600 --before "default_reset" --after "hard_reset" write_flash -z --flash_mode "dio" --flash_freq "80m" --flash_size detect 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x10000 espcam.bin 0x8000 partitions.bin

So far, so good. but when I config putty (Port "COM5", 1115200 baud, Data bits 8, stopits 1, Parity None, Flow control None), and I open the session, I see nothing. After hitting the reset-button on my ESP32-Cam I get this:

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x3 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_REO_V2))
waiting for download

When I do the same with the serial monitor of the Arduino-IDE, I get the same result.

What am I doing wrong?

Wifi password longer 32 char

Hi,
first of all, thank you for your repo!

Sadly I'm using a 63 char. Wifi password, which is cropped after char. 32.
Can you help me solving this?

Many thanks!

Error when trying to make.

I get this error when trying to build.

Commandline parameter?

In the original esp32cam webcam I can change the parameters directly in the browser in the format http://ip-adress/control?var=&val=. Is there a variable for the LED?

I found this variables in the web:

Errors while compiling the project

Hello,
I'm using this project for a while now, but I would like to change the default resolution to 720p/HD, but I can't compile the project.

I'm using esp-idf for the first time and set it up according to your description in issue #1 (installing and setting compiler path via menuconfig).
I now have esp-idf v4.4 with xtensa-esp32-gcc8_4_0-esp-2021r2-patch4 compiler (from here https://github.com/espressif/crosstool-NG ) installed.
I'm using up-to-date amd64 Manjaro-Linux.

When i run make, the following errors are occurring:

It would be nice, if you could help me to resolve this issue or if you could provide a binary with 720p default resolution (or maybe store it on the board, like the wifi credentials).
