I've been down this hole, and I found the follwing resources:

1. https://github.com/shariltumin/esp32-ca ... ython-2022 has some good instructions for how to flash your firmware, but it's missing a few things.
2. https://iot.stackexchange.com/questions ... to-the-esp this has some good troubleshooting tips, and I needed it to get it to work with the CAM board.

Basically:
Download firmware from here (https://github.com/lemariva/micropython ... r/firmware)
With Thonny closed, add to the configuration.ini file under the [ESP32] section:

Code: Select all

dtr = False
rts = False
Open Thonny, flash the firmware, and you're good to go.
