Hi Jim, thanks for your time.
I havn’t had experience with programming boards without usb connections so I bought the DFRobot FDTI board to match the DFRobot Cam board thinking they should have a great relationship.
DFR0065 - FTDI Basic Breakout 3.3/5V (Arduino Compatible)
DFR0602 - ESP32-CAM Development Board
The FTDI brings up only one COM Port which Arduino detects automatically, I can see the Tx led attempting to send about every two seconds till the “fatal error” message appears. Pressing RST in any sequence makes no difference.
CE is sending two replacement boards which I will test asap.
Kind regards,
Stephen
