Camera Web Server Issues XIAO ESP32S3 Sense + Grove Vision AI Module with OV5647-160

[rashawnoverton]

I tried to use the camera web server example and ran into a few errors.

Hi, I have met the same question. No errors for me but I just can't start the stream. It just show me the two warning.

Hi @rashawnoverton, @1838032971!

Thank you for your feedback, please follow the error prompts to troubleshoot the problem, if you still can't solve the problem, please contact us for further information about the following issues:

1. Please make sure that the device's PSRAM is turned on.
2. What is the version of each dependent package?(e.g. Arduino ESP32)
3. How is the ESP linked to the WE2? (Physical and software, the logs of the ESP32 would help us to find the problem)

Hello,

I'm going to close this issue, feel free to re-open it if you have any other questions.

Hey,

I’d like to reopen this issue as I’m still experiencing the same problem and have verified each of the points mentioned previously.

PSRAM Status: I have confirmed that PSRAM is enabled on my ESP32.
Dependency Versions: All dependent packages, including the Arduino ESP32 package, are fully up to date.
Connection Details: The ESP32S3 is physically connected to the WE2 module, and I’ve verified that the OV5647-160 camera is connected properly to the Grove Vision 2 as well. However, I'm not entirely certain about the software linkage.
Regarding Logs: I'm currently unsure about how to retrieve the software logs for my ESP32S3 setup with the Grove Vision 2.

@iChizer0 Help with this one

Hi @idogolds,I understand the issues you're experiencing, but an accurate reproduction step is needed (e.g. regarding the precise versions of the individual dependencies). For viewing the detailed logs, you can recompile and burn the firmware after changing the Core Debug Level to Verbose in the Tools menu of the Arduino IDE.

Additionally, this is the version of the dependency that we have successfully tested before, hopefully this would help you out:

Hey @iChizer0 , thanks for the help! Out of all the supported libraries, it turned out that I only had the ESP32 library version wrong. I was using 3.0.7 instead of 2.0.14, so I’ve now updated it as recommended. However, I’m now running into a new issue where the web server doesn’t load at all. Here’s the output log I’m seeing:

@idogolds From the logs you provided, it seems that there is something wrong with the initialization of the IDF's UART library, you can try to see if it works properly in I2C or SPI mode first, thanks.

Seeed_Arduino_SSCMA/examples/camera_web_server/camera_web_server.ino

Line 38 in f4c39f4

startRemoteProxy(PROTO_UART);

Seeed_Arduino_SSCMA/examples/camera_web_server/app_httpd.h

Lines 4 to 8 in f4c39f4

	enum Proto {
	PROTO_UART = 1,
	PROTO_I2C = 2,
	PROTO_SPI = 3,
	};

We will also schedule a time to confirm that the example works properly under the version 3.0.7 you are using, but this may take some time.
