ESP32-CAM development board with Camera, WiFi and Bluetooth (OT103-B53)

full-fledged ESP32 with a camera module and Micro SD card slot.
The OV2640 camera module contains a 1/4 inch CMOS UXGA (1632 x 1232 pixels) image sensor. It is ultra-small in size and has a low working voltage of 1.7 to 3.3V.
Features:

Ultra-small 802.11b/g/n Wifi + BT/BLE SoC module
Low-power dual-core 32-bit CPU for application processors
Up to 240MHz, up to 600 DMIPS
Built-in 520KB SRAM, external 4M PSRAM
Supports interfaces such as UART/SPI/I2C/PWM/ADC/DAC
Support OV2640 and OV7670 camera with built-in flash
Support WiFI image upload
Support TF card
Support multiple sleep modes
Embedded Lwip and FreeRTOS
Support STA/AP/STA+AP working mode
Support Smart Config/AirKiss one-click distribution network
Support serial local upgrade and remote firmware upgrade (FOTA)

NOTE, this module does not have a USB port. A separate serial USB module (FT232RL) is required to program it.
Installing ESP32-CAM in Arduino IDEBy default, the Arduino IDE software does not recognize the ESP32 board. In order to program the ESP32-CAM in the Arduino IDE, it must first be installed in Arduino IDE. Follow these steps:

In Arduino IDE, go to FILE and then to PREFERENCES.
Enter the following URL under MORE BOARD MANAGER URLS: https://dl.espressif.com/dl/package_esp32_index.json
Now go to UTILITIES, BOARD and BOARD MANAGEMENT
Search for ESP32 and install ESP32 by Espressif Systems
In the list under UTILITIES, BOARD, choose the "AI Thinker ESP32-CAM"

That's it, now you can get started with the ESP32-CAM.
Also watch the Youtube video we added with the step-by-step explanation in English.
Connecting the FT232RL to the ESP32-CAMTo connect the FT232RL to the ESP32-CAM you can use the following scheme:
Do you get the message A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header
Important: GPIO 0 must be connected to GND so that the code can be uploaded.
