ESP32-CAM Wireless Wi-Fi Bluetooth Camera Module with OV2640 Camera and MB USB Programmer Base

Overview

The ESP32-CAM with MB Programmer Base combines a high-performance, low-power integrated dual-core processor with a 2-Megapixel OV2640 camera sensor. What makes this bundle special is the custom ESP32-CAM-MB test board. The baseboard features a built-in micro-USB port, a CH340G serial driver chip, a Reset button, and an IO0 download button. This eliminates the complex wiring required by standard modules, making it accessible for robotics hobbyists and engineering students.

Key Features
