Hi @OEWPS

Are you following the steps from this git repo? There are details about the pins that are required to change to flash the ESP-CAM. Hope this helps!

Hey Eoin,

Yes, I downloaded the zip files from GitHub and changed the #define to my board. Now I need to rebuild the application. I don’t understand how to do the following part:

Then from the firmware folder execute:

get_idf
clear && idf.py build

Which folder?

Sorry I’m very new to this

King regards

Hi @OEWPS

The firmware folder is the folder that you downloaded the git repository to :slight_smile:

Please make sure that you install the idf tools too
