Well, I've searched all around and what I showed in my post is the best I could come up with from what I was able to locate. The C# server comes directly from the YouTube video that I referenced. As far as I can tell it's set up as a TCP server. You suggest that I find some simple, standard Arduino ...

I WILL BE SOOO GRATEFUL IF SOMEONE CAN TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG ! :D I want to send data, via WiFi, from my ESP32 to my laptop, but am not having success in doing so. It just always fails to connect, the failure code coming back to my ESP32 sketch. The C# program running on the laptop, waiting ...

I'm still hoping someone can provide the format info.

Is there documentation anywhere for the actual format of the data you get when you choose to capture PIXFORMAT_RAW data?

widepeepoHappy I think I found the source of the problem. I did some testing by saving the original JPEG file to a file. When there's no problem with the conversion to bitmap the JPEG file looks just fine (using a paint program to view it). But when that conversion error happens the JPEG files itsel...

Is there an ESP32-CAM forum somewhere else on the web?

"signal integrity issues on the line to your camera" On the line to the camera? The camera is directly plugged into the ESP32 board. There's no "line to the camera". Plus, I get a success return when I actually grab the image from the camera. It's when I'm doing the frame2bmp() call that I get the e...

I grab an image at FRAMESIZE_VGA in PIXFORMAT_JPEG and set for the highest JPEG quality,
and what I get does not look very "high quality". In fact it looks pretty messy. What should be fairly smooth areas look all blotchy.

Is this the best I can expect from the ESP32-CAM?

I'm grabbing a JPEG image into the Frame Buffer at FRAMESIZE_SVGA (i.e. 800x600) and then attempting to convert it to a bitmap, RGB888, via a call to frame2bmp(). Sometimes it works, sometimes not. I print out some info, such as how many bytes it captured into the Frame Buffer, which looks fairly sm...

Is there a way to control the LED that's used for "flashing" when a picture is being grabbed into the Frame Buffer? Is there a way to directly turn that LED on and off? Is there a way to control the brightness when it's on? Is there a way to DISABLE it so that it does not flash when a picture is bei...
