There is now a very cheap motherboard available for the esp32cam which make it as easy to use as any other esp development board.
Search eBay for "esp32cam mb" - see http://www.hpcba.com/en/latest/source/DevelopmentBoard/HK-ESP32-CAM-MB.html -It looks like the esp32cam suplied with them are not standard and have one of the GND pins modified to act as a reset pin? -
So on esp32cam modules without this feature you have to plug the USB in whilst holding the program button to upload a sketch -also I find I have to use the lowest upload speed or it fails to upload. The wifi is very poor whilst in the motherboard -
(I find this happens if you have something near the antenna on the esp32cam modules) but if I rest my thumb above the antenna -
I find the signal works ok). Many of the ebay listing include an external antenna and I would suggest this would b a good option -if ordering one. -
So they are far from perfect but still for the price I think well worth having. +It looks like the esp32cam suplied with them are not standard and have one of the GND pins modified to act as a reset pin?
