Hi there,

I'm trying to upload the example code to an ESP32-Cam. It was working fine when I tried two days ago.
However, now I keep getting:

Code: Select all

esptool.py v2.6
Serial port /dev/ttyUSB0
Connecting........_____....._____....._____....._____....._____....._____.....____An error occurred while uploading the sketch
A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header
The serial console shows it's in programming mode:

Code: Select all

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x3 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_REO_V2))
waiting for download
I've connected everything according to this: https://i2.wp.com/randomnerdtutorials.c ... =750&ssl=1

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?
