ESP32 CAM MB USB Programmer Board CH340G USB To Serial Port

ESP32 CAM MB Programmer. The ESP32-CAM AI-Thinker MB programmer is a shield that you attach to your ESP32-CAM board GPIOs. The following image below shows the programmer and the ESP32-CAM side by side. The programmer comes with the CH340C USB to serial chip. This allows you to program the ESP32-CAM using the USB port on the shield. The shield also comes with RESET and BOOT (IO 0) buttons. This may be useful to easily reset the ESP32-CAM or put it into flashing mode. To program the ESP32-CAM board with Arduino IDE, you need to have Arduino IDE installed as well as the ESP32 add-on. Installing the ESP32 Board in Arduino IDE Then, simply connect the MB programmer to the ESP32-CAM as shown in the following image. ESP32 CAM MB Programmer Then, connect the board to your computer using a USB cable. After that, in your Arduino-IDE, follow the next steps: Go to Tools > Board and select AI-Thinker ESP32-CAM. You must have the ESP32 add-on installed. Otherwise, this board won’t show up on the Boards menu. Go to Tools > Port and select the COM port the ESP32-CAM is connected to. Note: if the board doesn’t show up, it means that you probably don’t have the CH340C drivers installed on your computer. Go to Google and search “CH340C drivers” followed by your operating system and install the drivers. The code given below is a basic code that will help you to blink the LED on the CAM. // ledPin refers to ESP32-CAM GPIO 4 (flashlight) const int ledPin = 4; void setup() { // initialize digital pin ledPin as an output pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); delay(2000); digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); delay(2000); } This sketch, simply blinks the onboard flash LED.en.wikipedia.org Then, click the Upload button in your Arduino IDE. You should get a message saying the code was successfully uploaded and your board should start blinking.
