Getting this error while uploading a sketch to ESP32-Cam module

[espressof]

While following this tutorial:
https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-c ... duino-ide/

I am getting this error when (trying to) uploading the sketch:

Code: Select all

    esptool.py v2.6
    Serial port /dev/cu.usbmodem14101
    Connecting....
    Chip is ESP32D0WDQ5 (revision 1)
    Features: WiFi, BT, Dual Core, 240MHz, VRef calibration in efuse, Coding Scheme None
    MAC: f4:cf:a2:9a:0d:b0
    Uploading stub...
    Running stub...
    Stub running...
    Changing baud rate to 460800
    Changed.
    Configuring flash size...
    
    A fatal error occurred: Invalid head of packet (0xF8)
    A fatal error occurred: Invalid head of packet (0xF8)

So it seems like it is connecting in some way, but for some reason the connection gets aborted.

Can anyone point me into the right direction to resolve this issue? Can it be a hardware problem?

Have you selected the right module in Arduino and running the latest version ?
