M5CoreS3 Camera Pinout for use with ESP32 CameraWebServer example

ralphjy

Has anyone gotten the GC308 camera on the M5CoreS3 working with the ESP32 CameraWebServer example? If so, what configuration did you use? I'm compiling with the Arduino IDE 2.3.2 and tried using the pinout from the M5CoreS3 library Basic->Camera example that didn't work.

Hello @ralphjy

please find my CameraWebServer adaption for M5CoreS3 here.

Thanks

Hi Felix,

Thanks - I just tried it and it ran out of storage space after compiling.

"Sketch uses 3259241 bytes (103%) of program storage space. Maximum is 3145728 bytes.
Global variables use 74760 bytes (22%) of dynamic memory, leaving 252920 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes."

I've been using the Partition Scheme: "16M Flash (3MB APP/9.9MB FATFS)"

Are you using a Custom Scheme?

Hello @ralphjy

hmm, no, I am not using any special partition scheme. Maybe try the one from the original code? See here.

Or this one here.

Thanks
Felix

Hi @felmue,

Both of those partition files allowed me to compile and upload, but both have a different runtime partition error. I can connect to the webserver, but there isn't any stream. Not sure if that is caused by the partition errors.

With the original partitions,csv:
12:02:12.823 -> E (591) esp_core_dump_flash: No core dump partition found!
12:02:14.972 -> hello
12:02:15.235 -> Camera init ok.
12:02:15.268 -> Camera sensor found.
12:02:15.268 -> Camera PID: 0x9b GC0308_PID: 0x9b.
12:02:15.302 -> cam_hal: EV-VSYNC-OVF
12:02:15.807 -> .....................................
12:02:33.807 -> WiFi connected
12:02:33.847 -> Camera Ready! Use 'http://10.0.0.139' to connect

With the 8MB APP partitions.csv:
11:35:14.013 -> hello
11:35:14.013 -> Camera init ok.
11:35:14.013 -> Camera sensor found.
11:35:14.013 -> Camera PID: 0x9b GC0308_PID: 0x9b.
11:35:14.013 -> cam_hal: EV-VSYNC-OVF
11:35:14.013 -> ......................................................
11:35:36.199 -> WiFi connected
11:35:36.199 -> [0;31mE (30217) MFN: Partition Not found[0m
11:35:36.199 -> [0;31mE (30217) MFN: Please Set the Partition[0m
11:35:36.199 -> Camera Ready! Use 'http://10.0.0.139' to connect

But in either case there is no stream or image.

If it is working for you, I must just have some issue with my setup. I'll admit that never tried to set up partitions before. I don't even see the M5CoreS3 n the boards.txt file.

Hello @ralphjy

in the web-interface have you clicked the red button to start the stream?

I think I've seen those partition errors sometimes as well, but so far they did not prevent the stream from working.

Thanks

Hi Felix,

I discovered that the problem with the stream not starting is related to poor WiFi performance. It works when I put the M5CoreS3 near my WiFi access point.

From the comments in your program source, I guess you don't expect most of the features other than streaming to work.

I had hoped that resize and face detect might work. V-Flip, H-Mirror and Save seem to work.

Thanks, it's a place to start.
