this is a basic example for esp32 wrover cam, that I use
but whenever I try to program my cam, & read the serial monitor output, I get this:

The boot:0x33 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT) indicates the boot mode. Check your connections and jumper wires. Faulty connections can cause issues with booting and initialization.
