ESP32 Forum

I have an ESP-Cam, which I have had working in the past, but now it won't initialise. On a whim, I just tried re-flashing it from a different PC, which probably has older versions of all the drivers and it's given me a different error: I'm fairly sure it's an AI-Thinker module, and that pinout worked last time.
Do we conclude the camera is dead, or does anyone have any ideas for a better diagnosis?

You can check this github thread regarding this "E (543) camera: Camera probe failed with error 0x105(ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND)
Camera init failed with error 0x105" error. Somebody said that the problem was with the programming example camera web server.
He/she modified the programming and managed to fix it

The first thing they suggest is to use this example, but I can't even get that to compile.

Their code gives me the same error as before

OK, I tried a bit harder and I take that back.
