Camera probe failed with error 0x105

[lucianobonzatto]

hello, i'm tring to get image form ESP32-CAM using platformio.
this is my fededback message:

and my platformio.ini:

[env:esp32dev]
platform = espressif32
board = esp-wrover-kit
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200

It's necessary set DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM?

[WangYuxin-esp]

Before officially initializing the camera, ESP32 will send a command to the sensor through the I2C bus. Normally, the sensor should send an ACK, and then ESP32 can initialize the sensor through the I2C bus. The current log shows that the sensor has not sent an ACK. Therefore, the configuration of the ESP32 pin is abnormal, or the sensor is working in an abnormal state.

I'm also facing the same issue, even after the cam init ok.

[WangYuxin-esp]

@yashshukla99 Is the official development board currently used? Which sensor model is used? And it is recommended that you use the example here for testing.

[yashshukla99]

Thanks @WangYuxin-esp , I will test above code and I am using this one with OV2640 sensor.

@yashshukla99 I have several of this AI-Thinker (or faked clone?). The are borderline.

• without a very stable good power supply the always fail
• dont use a breadboard
• disconnect anything from GPIO 0 after flashing (clk for cam!)
  if you are lucky you get a picture. Many of this boards do not work and just fail with 0x105
  Every other Cam board i have does work without any issues

I often face this problem, but it is usually due to a poor connection of the FPC connector, which can be solved by inserting the connector all the way to the back.

[OmPatel47097]

Tried all of the solutions, I think I got scamed or my electrical skills are too bad : /

[Jason2866]

@OmPatel47097 Probably you have got just bad luck with the one you have.
Since i use ESP32-S3 Cam Modells never had any problem.

Probably I might need to buy a new one

[maboeckx]

you shoud trie to use the CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER board
worked for me when i had this problem

[sergioaiello]

I faced the same issue. With the same log.
I solved changing from I2C port#1 (default) to port#0 (and AI_THINKER as noted here above)

[durop]

@sergioaiello what do you mean by changing I2c port 1 to 2?
Do you have some sketch?

Tried with .sccb_i2c_port = 0 and also = 1 but no luck.

[sergioaiello]

no, it is very easy.
Go to "menuconfig" ("F1" if you use VisualCode editor) and search for "SCCB" (OV camera's interface)
You should get the menu "I2C peripheral to use for SCCB" with two choices: "I2C0" and "I2C1"
Apparently the default is the latter. Change to the former and compile after a "fullclean". It worked for me. Give it a try and let me know.

[durop]

@sergioaiello, thanks for the response. Im using vscode with PlatafformIO extension.
I dont get any result when searching "SCCB".
