ESP32 CAM PSRAM not recognised – check IDE board setting

Steven Falivene asked 3 years ago

Hi

I had a frustrating evening trying to work out why my ESP32 CAm was not recognising the PSRAM and only taking pictures at 800 pixels.  I was taking 1600 pixel photos a couple of days ago, but not now. I tried lots of things (3 h worth!) and then I saw the board was set at ESP32 Dev (which has PSRAM disabled) in the Aduino IDE, not AI Thinker CAM in the Arduino IDE.

I changed it to AI Thinker CAM and it works. I thought I post this to save other a few hours of frustration.

Hi Steven.
Thanks for sharing that.
Selecting the right board is very important to have the ESP32-CAM working properly.
Regards,
Sara
