Hi everyone - It's come to my attention that there has been someone masquerading as myself, responding to some comments here with a link to a Telegram chat to win a prize from me. THIS IS A SCAM, I am not holding a contest, nor do I have a Telegram account. PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO THESE MESSAGES!! It's happening on a lot of my videos, I'm taking steps to remove them manually, but as I have 162 videos, it will take some time.

This is excellent timing, I ordered a couple of xiao boards just the other day! Thank you for the head start and for your tireless work at providing top quality content!
I am only 18 minutes into this video, and it's hands down the best XIAO ESP32S3 sense video I have seen. It's truly excellent! I left with one question? What happened to the autofocus question?
You made THE cardinal sin of using interrupts in that you didn't declare "touch1detected" as volatile. This makes the code extremely fragile in that its working depends entirely on how the code was compiled. There's also a large race window between the checking and clearing of the same variable when saving the data to the SD card. It's always best to test and clear sentinels atomically, otherwise some sets can get lost.
Very nice video series and this Xiao board looks amazing with the camera upgrade and all. I was always interested in Machine learning, etc and your videos are great to do something practical. Thanks!!
Great videos, I do like the ESP32 series very much. I have only experimented with the 2Mp camera a little. Also, I did notice on the first video with the 5Mp camera, as you moved the meter forward it remained in focus while the labels on your parts drawers lost some focus so it appears the auto-focus is working to some extent maybe not as much as it should but it seems to be working.
I do like the extras for the board has (battery charging and mic.) I loved the ESP32-CAM, I made an application for the PC to view the video instead of a browser, I wonder if it would work with this.
I have tried to get the XIAO ESP32S3 to work with the expansion board. Libraries loaded, examples compile and load well but nothing shows on the OLED. Any suggestion? thanks
Thank you very much for your fantastic and clear presentation! When implementing the ESP32S3 by using my laptop with the USB connection, is there any risk that hackers access using the ESP32S3 wifi? If so, how to avoid any undesired access?
Hey man, thanks for the video. Any recommendations on what would be the next step up? Are there any boards in the $40-$80 range that support HD video @ 32 fps?
Have you ran into any heat issue with running the video continuously through the wi-fi and sd card? I have an ESP32-S3 Cam board that when I ran a program called ESP32-CAM_MJPEG2SD, which is available on the internet I run into issues. With running the different pieces separately there is no issue. But trying to run the camera, saving pictures to SD card, and displaying it on the web page the until quickly heats up and have to unplug it within a min or 2. I've heard of other similar issues. Unless I find one that doesn't have this issue I'll probably connect a USB camera to the USB Host and do it that way. Thanks, and great video.
I want to power my esp32s3 with a lipo battery and will have to use a step up converter to get the 5 volts. I also understand you need a diode i guess to prevent feed back thru usb and possibly damaging computer or labtop if connected at same time not sure . My question is will the battery recharge having a step up converter in between lipo battery and esp32s3? Thanks for the great content
check the camera lens, mine was attached improperly so it was way out of focus. I had to twist it off and reattach. at those close distances the antenna won't make much difference.
Instead of connecting the esp32 cam module via wifi and a web server, would it be possible to just connect a small display to the esp32 cam module, and just view it on the display?
Hello Sr, many thansk for the video. Can I ask how could I use the camera without wifi? How can I Conect it to the bluetooth of my movile phone? Many thanks and regards
Hi I have been following your videos on the ESP32-Cam and the GC9A01 projects, and was having fun with the wi-fi camera projects and the GC9A01 clock projects. However, I have been trying to interface the Xiao with the OV7725 and GC9A01 to have the OV7725 sending realtime video to the GC9A01 but just can't work. I am wondering if you can help and point me in the right direction. I can only do very basic simple programming but this complexity is beyond my abilities. Hope you can help on how I can start. Thanks
I tried this, but the IDE 2.2.1 I am using failed, saying a library can't be found (it exists) - as the pathname for the ESP32 library is too long for Win10. Would like to know how to get around this issue.
As usual great video thank you for the interesting content and the good job that you presenting it I know that you put a lot of work into your videos. I have ordered these product and am waiting until I have time to get to it. An issue that I have is that I hate the latest Arduno IDE 2.X BECAUSE I CANT GET A FULL SCRENE MONITOR. AND I CANT DOWN LOAD THE ONE THAT YOU USE THE 1.8X. THANKS!
Hi, I have a issue with my esp32s3 board whenever it is connect to Arduino IDE it connects to my Wi-Fi but when I connect it to external power source it doesn't get connected. How to resolve this issue ?
You say; "Incidentally, the ESP32S3 board is also available on its own for $7.49, making it one of the least expensive ESP32S3 boards you can buy." Do you have a link that ships to Canada?
@@BlondieHappyGuy The datasheet briefly mentions a voice coil motor which is suitable for mechanic autofocus functionality at chapter 3.3. And there is a UA-cam video that shows the functionality: ua-cam.com/video/vQdIaJH_Trw/v-deo.html
Hello. Anyone can some help me to get the datasheet of this LCD L-280A75-C it has 17 pins. Been scratching my head for several weeks now with no luck 😢
Do some video about its "offline" voice recognition features cos i think its utter nonsense. No way this board can do offline, all the videos just demonstrate online like alexa 😢
Hello DroneBot Workshop. Thank you for the videos. I want to ask you about the camera spectrum of view. (i need a esp32 cam with a range of view from RGB visible area (from Blue to Red) + Near IR. I need to use it for farming watching and observations. DO you know if this camera works with this range and if you don't know and know about another camera, please let me know. Again, Thank you for the videos.
I am not impressed by this board and in fact I cannot use it. The problem you mention in your video is that we need to press the boot button then apply power to go in boot loader mode. Well this happens to me all the time. These buttons are so small and I have to press on it every time I want to make a change in my code. It is simply not usable for me. I am used to program boards like the TTGO-T1 ESP32 and do not need ever to press a button to program them for years. I try to find a fix for this XIAO board but cannot find it so I can't use it sadly. If someone has a fix please let us know!
I haven't looked at this particular board, but for my ESP-WROOM 32 to automatically go into boot mode, I had to solder a ~100nF ceramic cap between the RESET/EN & 3.3V pin - luckily they are right next to each other (This was not my idea but taken from a forum post, it's a very common problem with ESP32 boards)
The D1 is pretty much a Wemos-only thing. The problem with Wemos vs Seeed is that the former ditches designs and products faster than Seeed (which doesn't have super-long product longevity either). For the most part, if Wemos isn't doing much D1 work, then you're kinda of out of luck unless you want to make your own. The upside of the Xiao series (which isn't a Seeeduino, which historically were all UnoR3-format boards) is that Adafruit's QtPy-s are pretty much compatible, so you have more choices of suppliers of that form factor, although it does seem to be a form factor that Seeed has been developing steadily also. As they say about standards, it's "great" that there are so many to choose from...

At 2:30 sec the spec for the Micro SD should read 32 GB Fat (not 32MB FAT). Love your videos and website - thank you for all that you do!
Thanks for all your great tutorials!
Glad you like them!
Excellent. You've given me some inspiration. Thanks for the vid!

Superb informative video, as always! Thank you!
great video, Bill, thank you!
wow it's small enough to fit in a novelty oversized lapel pin o.o
great and informative video, thank you! btw, hope you can improve the mic sound in the future, the additional sound is kind of distract and annoying.
XIAO in Chinese means 'small'. Maybe it is marketed as a mini version of AI Thinker. Great intro video.😀
I do like the extras for the board has (battery charging and mic.)
I loved the ESP32-CAM, I made an application for the PC to view the video instead of a browser, I wonder if it would work with this.
The big heatsink probably is for the esp32, as it gets really hot while streaming video.
Thanks!
Thank you as well!
I have tried to get the XIAO ESP32S3 to work with the expansion board. Libraries loaded, examples compile and load well but nothing shows on the OLED. Any suggestion? thanks
I've had problems using the Xiao with the oled displays as well. Try declaring different I2C pins and using them. That worked for me
I guess its the "influencer effect", there aren't too many available, and their best price is $17.47 with $6.82 shipping (October 02)
Great, informative and very very useful 😃. Have you tried video with audio streaming?
Thank you very much for your fantastic and clear presentation!
When implementing the ESP32S3 by using my laptop with the USB connection, is there any risk that hackers access using the ESP32S3 wifi? If so, how to avoid any undesired access?
Can i connect two 3.7v lipo 850mah in parallel and the usb will charge them safely? Im working on my first drone. Im excited. Nice video!
Hello. Did they contact you about the auto focus?
This is good that I can upgrade with OV5640 but can I use some cheap 5mp module with this? Like Raspberry Pi Camera module?

Any tips on how I can find the camera module on Fritzing
THANKS
Is it possible to power the Microcontroller using a 3.3 volt voltage regulator connected to the 5v input pin?
I would think that the AF would be an external lens with a mechanical driver aka voice coil to hone the focus.
Very interesting. I imagine eventually more powerful versions could do voice to text from the .wav file.
Love the video!! Could you explain how the external stronger antenna was attached? The stream from mine is really blurry
check the camera lens, mine was attached improperly so it was way out of focus. I had to twist it off and reattach. at those close distances the antenna won't make much difference.

Hello Sr, many thansk for the video. Can I ask how could I use the camera without wifi? How can I Conect it to the bluetooth of my movile phone? Many thanks and regards
How tall is it without the camera on but with the expansion board? 5mm?
Do you have to have a sd card in the xiao esp32s3 cam to get started ????
does the OV5640 need a special adapter for this board?

I cannot find that prototyping board. Of course searching turns up thousands of boards. Hope you can point me in the right direction.

When I power on the Xiao ESP32S3, it feels quite hot on the back even without using the camera module. Could it be because of the WiFi connection?

Since the device is JTAG capable we could at least find out where it's broken.
I noticed an autofocus library in the add library.

Probably a typo. And GB seems realistic. MB would be early 90s specs. And at 04:55 it's GB.

It could be nick named the "32 cent". Until auto focus works it isn't worth anymore than 32 cents.
