ESP32 Cam Overheating
Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2021 5:55 am
I'm currently working on a project with ESP32 cam.
After getting my ESP32 cam I tried some sketch and they worked.
My project is video streaming Robot(Inspired from Random Nerd Tutorial ) . Project link https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-c ... eb-server/
Only difference is I've added two pwm( analogWrite) pin ( 1,2) to the code to control speed of dc motors.
After I uploaded the code and assemble all parts and power ESP32 cam it worked for a while and stop working.
Then I found Voltage Regulating part of ESP32 Cam is generating too much heat.
First I thought it's power supply problem . So, I tried different source of 5 volt power.
Then, I thought it's voltage regulator's problem. And, I tried regulated 3.3 volt from my ftdi. But, I found my ftdi get hot.
So, I thought the problem is in the code and I tried to reset the ESP32 cam. But, after tryin a lot I'm unable to reset the code. It starts heating when I plug it. I tried pressing the reset switch first and then plugging but it also did not work. I triple checked everything . I didn't found any mistake. ( the board is totally fresh. I didn't use any soldering . There is no loose connection)
What can I do now? Is my ESP32 cam dead? Please help me if you can.
Thanks in Advance
