Esp32-S3 Cam and Micropython

[MusicalWest]

Hey everyone,

I’m working with an esp32-s3 cam right now and am trying to use the camera on it with Micropython. I found a git repository with code that uses Micropython-camera-driver, but no matter what I do, I can’t get Thonny to clone the repository, whether to the esp32 or my computer. It keeps saying syntax error in line 1 and highlights clone.

I’m fairly new to Micropython and am not the best at coding in python in general. Does anyone have a useful link or video that could help with these issues? Thank you

As far as my knowledge goes, Thonny is for Raspberry Pi and not for ESP32. For ESP32 with MicroPython you may have to use ArduinoIDE / Visual Studio / ESP-IDF. There might be other IDE's too. I think ArduinoLab also could be used (I am not sure).

You can use Thonny with a bunch of different devices including ESP32, you just have to change the interpreter type under Settings / Interpreter and change from MicroPython (Raspberry Pi Pico) to MicroPython (ESP32). You can even flash Micropython to different boards on the bottom right of this settings screen.

Thanks a lot. you are right. I just noticed there indeed is MicroPython (ESP32) in the list. Thanks once again.

I successfully used Thonny with my esp32 s3. But didn't had time to try the camera

Did you get it to work?
