@felmue - thanks. I had PSRAM enabled but perhaps not the right partition scheme.

I now have PSRAM enabled and I'm using the default partition scheme ('default 4MB with spiffs...').

I see it

• working with FRAMESIZE_QVGA (320x200)
• working but frequently blocking for several seconds with FRAMESIZE_SVGA (800x600) as in the original sample
• crashing instantly with FRAMESIZE_QXGA (2048x1536)

Any thoughts ?

thanks,
Richard

I'm trying to use a TimerCameraX with Arduino, with the latest versions of everything.

Both of the Timer-CAM webcam examples (sta and ap) work for a little while, then become very intermittent, then stop delivering frames altogether.

Are these examples meant to work correctly with the TimerCameraX ? Should I be looking somewhere else for decent examples ?

Thanks,
Richard

I'm having wierd trouble with serial debug output with a TimerCamX in the Arduino IDE - serial output sent early in the run is lost, replaced with a string of box characters:

This is from a demo made from Blink, for simplicity, but my more complex sketch suffers the same problem. I'm running Arduino IDE 2.3.2 with M5Stack 2.1.1, building for M5Stack-Timer-Cam.

Here's the demo code:

void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);

Serial.begin(9600);

Serial.println("Starting 1");

while (!Serial) {
; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB
}

Serial.println("Starting 2");

delay(1000);

Serial.println("Starting 3");

}

// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000);
Serial.println("loop"); // wait for a second
}

I'm trying to build the Arduino example code
https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/master/libraries/ESP32/examples/Camera/CameraWebServer
to run on an M5CAMERA001.

The board manager doesn't offer me an option for M5camera - I can choose M5UnitCAM or M5TimerCAM but both of those get me an error:
Compilation error: text section exceeds available space in board

This is with
#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_PSRAM
but I've tried various alternatives without success.

How should I be building for this camera ?

Thanks!
