Whenever I would like to sample my data in esp32, I get this error: “ESP32-CAM Sampling failed Timeout when waiting for OK (timeout: 1000) AT+SNAPSHOT=96,96,y”

This is the full log:

I’ve tried two ESP32 so I don’t think my device is broken.
What should I do to make a successful sampling of data through my device?

Kindly help me in troubleshooting connection between esp32 and edge impulse

Hello, check the power of your board, try connecting from another USB port, try using the 64x64 size, it happens that cheap boards do not have enough power

#3

you are using ESP32 CAM AI-thinker?

I’ve tried connecting from other USB port and also used 64x64 size and still receiving the same error.

Sampling failed

Sampling failed

Yes, I am using AI Thinker

Hello @vbcalinao,

In order to use the ESP32 CAM AI Thinker with the Edge Impulse firmware, you need to recompile it and change a few parameters: Espressif ESP-EYE (ESP32) - Edge Impulse Documentation.

The default firmware works with the ESP-EYE only.

Best,

Louis

Hello, the pins of the camera are different, the document explains how to change if it doesn’t work after that, try connecting via usb ttl converter
Thanks Norik
