Frankly, it is prompting our team to consider switching to other chips with just as good a capability as Espressif's but significantly better documentation. And we already have several prototypes that we're using your chips for, but can't proceed with development effort fast enough because of lack ...

Ugh, I feel your pain. Search through the IDF "Build" docs https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/build-system.html looking especially for COMPONENT_DIRS and similar vars. The short version: there are two things you need to consider: - the build system needs to know t...

Chip select is integral to addressing devices on the bus in SPI. While you might be able to hack around chip select, if you want to save pins use I2C for your protocol instead.

I'm sketical as to whether you'd have a lot of resources left to actually *do* anything useful with the ESP-CAM after installing micropython, but apparently some people have gotten it to work, see e.g. https://lemariva.com/blog/2019/09/micro ... hoto-esp32

Could you apply some formatting to your post? It's nearly impossible to read the way it is. Something seems off: the error message you are posting is complaining about improper tls use, but the code you posted doesn't (seem) to use tls anywhere. Something else is probably the matter. Make sure the f...

If it's Ethernet it should be fairly simple to sniff and see where the FIN is from. Stab in the dark: there's an IP address conflict in your subnet and a third device sharing the IP of either client or server is closing the connection...

Are you using an S3 device?

Which example? Which Ide are you using? How did you go about loading the examples into the IDE? Have you tried compiling the example from the command line?

Can you run monitor on Windows? Are you sure COM3 is the correct port? Are you sure nothing else (`idf.py monitor`?) is running and blocking your connection?

Just a heads up for googling this: a good hash should have a vastly different output for even slightly different inputs, so that's likely the opposite of what you're looking for. Instead "fingerprint" or "image similarity". I doubt you would need to do anything fancy... I'd start with an extremely n...
