I can connect to Chrome, but when I press the Get Still, the Start Stream button, I get the following message and the camera does not work.
Can someone please tell me how to deal with this?

Hi,
You got 32 gig SD card installed , format FAT 32…?
Your close.

I use Chrome, so I do not have an SD card inserted.
Does the SD card have to be installed for the camera to work?

#4

You don’t necessarily need an SD card, do you have PSRAM enabled?

#5

“OPI PSRAM” is checked.
What version of BSP should I use?

This error message comes from the ESP32’s LEDC (LED Control) driver and indicates that the LEDC has not been initialised at the time the ledc_set_duty() function was called. It looks like this error is not related to the camera. It looks like we haven’t found the real reason why the camera isn’t working.

Hi there,
I went back and checked my working demo, I used the original esp32by Espressif systems 2.0.8. , tried the other all the way to the Alpha 's 3.0.0 .
Would not compile with 2.0.10 (wifi errors with wifi 2.0 lib)nor with the Alpha’s 3…0.0 a1 or a2
Works with 2.0.14 fine.

I have tried from 2.0.8 to 2.0.14. The compiler messages are the same as in PJ.
It works up to compile/upload and can connect to Chrome, but no images are coming.
I talked to the dealer, but they replied that it must be an initial defect, so I decided to return it.
Thanks for all the information!
