Smallest ESP32S3 Camera Board Review

[@shamancredible8632]

Excellent! This device will surely be useful for "research" of "things"

Great review of the board. I am thinking about getting one for my model rocket flight computer and data recorder, so the onboard camera is just perfect.

Alternatively buying Pi Zero 2W is also a good option for camera and other stuff and price does not jump. Pi Zero 2W + 5 MP Cam + Case + SD card will cost under INR 2500 and then can be also used for Retro games via RetroPie and some more stuff. I literally want to buy ESP32S3 Sense and eventually back out. Of-course this is microcontroller so has edge in some cases. This also has microphone so can be handy to record audio for corruptions and so on.

Thank you Electronicguy for the info on setting up the Xiao ESP32-S3 Sense, I have just got one with the camera, and I had the same problem with uploading, but as you said pressing the boot button when connecting to the PC worked! :-) Also as you mentioned, the board gets VERY HOT which surely can't be good!? It's difficult to add a heat sink as well to maybe the back of the board, especially if you want to connect a battery. Does this high temperature only happen when using the wireless streaming, and do you have any thoughts about cooling? I feel you would need to have a fan on it even if it wasn't in an enclosure! Thanks again for your help.

Thanks for the review!

Great video! How low time does it run on a battery charge with the web server running? Do you have any videos about reduction of power consumption with this board?

[@Warezzfan]

Fantastic presentation! Keep it up!

Good information bro, thankyou

I solder a 3.7v 850mah lipo to the board and planned to use the 5v pin for npn motor control, but the motor didn't start up. I haven't tested with a volt meter but i assume there is voltage there. When connected to usb power supply, the motor starts up to verify the circuit is correct. I tried two lipo 3.7v 850mah in parallel to increase Ampacity. Still, the motor did not start up. Will i burn the board up if i connect two lipo 3.7v batteries in series to double the voltage?

Tell us: are ALL the pins usable or not? The olders went from reboot loops to malfuncton when using wifi cos it eat up some puns

[@Pruthvirahul]

Awesome

Omg this is great!

[@evieanindyaputri610]

hii,, can we use this board as cctv that streaming video & audio continuously?

[@THEELECTRONICGUY]

I Don’t think it’s practical, gets heated very quickly and connection is not stable always

[@AyushGupta-lm9cn]

Sir my question is I'm forwarding ip and access over the internet this is possible 😅

[@dvhtosomja1548]

Does ADC work while the wifi is on?

[@avm_productions]

hey bro , can you please help me , i am using xiao esp32s3 sense for image classification. i have configured the board after connecting it to my system on the arduino IDE. The problem is i am unable to connect to the wifi and ultimately not able to use camera web server. also when iam trying to capture an image using the esp32s3 sense the code shits out some error. {brownout detector triggered } can anyone help ?

[@claudiu7909]

I had the same error with my esp32cam. If I remember correctly, it appears if you don't have enough power on the USB (or it is too unstable). An external 5V supply or a beefy capacitor should help.

[@avm_productions]

hey thnx for replying , anyways i got this problem solved by pressing the boot button while connecting the controller to the system via USB. sometimes the error "serial data not recieved" also pops up. but this way the problem was effectively solved. inadequate power to the esp may also result in the same error. In that case external supply should work. @@claudiu7909

1:10 definitely not a 12 core processor 😅

Queeee?
