ESP32-CAM flash LED is controlled by library. (How to interface)

Postby Wirewrap » Mon Nov 20, 2023 9:07 pm

Using an ESP32-CAM module with the Espressif esp_camera library for Arduino.
Works to my liking except for one thing.

When I take pictures the LED is flickering on and off, can't find where it is done.
I would like to have programmatic control myself over the FLASH LED.
Where is this defined?

Found the reason for this.
IO04 is shared between Flash LED and SD card.
Setting the SD driver in 1-Wire mode leaves IO04 exclusively for LED control.
