Question/Issue: I did an object detection model for my ESP32-Cam and I’m trying to run the code as an Arduino Library, but when I try to verify it, the IDE can’t resolve the libraries, well it’s not this but it takes so long to find and apply the correct library that it returns a ping timeout.
I don’t know what to do anymore, I tried to compile it in the Arduino IDE and in VS Code, did the inclusion of the custom library Edge Impulse gives when building the project, I’m literally using the example code and this is just a test, I am building a much larger project, so I can’t continue with it without getting this one to work first.
Project ID: 288498
Context/Use case: The error i get in the Arduino IDE is just “ping timeout”. This is the error message I’m getting in VS Code:
Sketch uses 472129 bytes (15%) of program storage space. Maximum is 3145728 bytes.
Global variables use 34224 bytes (10%) of dynamic memory, leaving 293456 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.
IntelliSense configuration updated. To manually rebuild your IntelliSense configuration run "Ctrl+Alt+I"
[Done] Verifying sketch 'espCam-cube-piram.ino'
I made some little modifications on the code, but only at the beggining of it, to keep it more clean for me, but here it is:
