Hi.
No.
Unfortunately, we don’t have any eBook about programming the ESP32-CAM with MicroPython.

Sara

Hi Sara,

Thanks, that’s something I can handle (I think).
I’ve ordered the Freenove ESP32-S3 WROOM CAM board and will see how it will go.

By-the-way: do you have a micropython variant of the ESP32 CAM Project ebook in preparation?

Regards,
Peter

Hi.
The board should work, but you’ll need to change the pin assignment when initializing the board on the code.

Sara

Hi Sara,
At Aliexpress, a Freenove ESP32-S3 WROOM CAM board is available. Are there any changes required for your code in the ESP32 CAM Project book? Or, do the code work without any changes?

(The board does have 8 MB PSRAM and an additional sd-card at the backsite)

Kind regards, Peter

have you done a tutorial in this Freenove board wherein the board takes a picture when an attached pir sensor is included in the sketch?

Hi.
Please read the demonstration section:
“Currently, this example doesn’t have face recognition enabled for this board, but face detection works for CIF or lower resolutions.”

Hi Sara,
I have followed your tutorial and it worked on my “Freenove esp32 wrover”.
in the end I can stream on a local website.
The problem is: I can not see the ‘face detection/recoginition’ works.
I was using the same resolution “QVGA(320X240)” as you and have tried even smaller format.
with “Face Detection” and “Face Recognition” enabled, cliking “Enroll Face” doesn’t show the block on the face neither in the video, or on the still picture.

is there a missing configuration?
