Recording video with XIAO ESP32S3 Sense

i tried using the record_video.ino example here : SeeedStudio-XIAO-ESP32S3-Sense-camera/record_video/record_video.ino at main · limengdu/SeeedStudio-XIAO-ESP32S3-Sense-camera · GitHub but all im getting is a 10 seconds video of a frame buffer. why ?

Hi there,

Check all the options , 3 times :grin:.
Which BSP are you using? and AFAIK it requires and older one?
YMMV :v:

Hi there,

So, I see this doesn’t generate a playback, only writes it to SD.

I would try the Arduino example first, so you understand how it works.
also the board name has to be the “Sense” version.

It works as expected in the Arduino IDE. :+1:
