Issues Compiling ESP32-Cam firmware
Posted: Tue Sep 14, 2021 2:31 pm
Hi,
I am trying to follow the tutorial here to compile the micropython v1.17 for ESP-32 Cam: https://github.com/lemariva/micropython-camera-driver and https://lemariva.com/blog/2020/03/tutor ... python-v20
After step 3 in https://lemariva.com/blog/2020/03/tutor ... python-v20, I am unsure as to how esp-idf is installed and used in the further steps? After compiling the micropython cross-compiler, I am not able to build the firmware with 'make BOARD=GENERIC_CAM'
command. I recieve the error: 'idf.py command not found'
Has anybody succeeded in compiling micropython with cam support this way? Can you please help?
The reason I am doing this is due to the missing urequests module in the precompiled esp32-cam firmware here: https://github.com/lemariva/micropython-camera-driver. If someone has successfully used urequests to make https requests (to telegram api), please do share how to use it properly. I have tried a few modules that were posted in the forum here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=5295&start=10#p53737 but with no success in making https calls.
Thank You
