Configuration

Please use esp32cam ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:esp32cam]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32cam

You can override default AI Thinker ESP32-CAM settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest esp32cam.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:esp32cam]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32cam

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = esp32

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 240000000L

Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger currently does not support AI Thinker ESP32-CAM board.
