Thanks for your video on the OV5640. I'm waiting for one I ordered but it's not wide angle. Have an ESP32-CAM with OV2640 located in an HO boxcar to stream "cab" video as it goes around layout. Using external antennae as well. Works but notice some "lines" in the video stream ... so like you ... decided to try the OV5640. Given your experience, I'll be mindful of the heat issue. BTW ... there is a daughter board for ESP32-CAM with USB connector to make programming a bit easier. All the best ...

Thanks. Your project sounds really interesting and I wish you luck. Hopefully my camera just had a defect which is why it overheated. My boards are a little older which is why I don't have the USB daughter board. I don't doubt it would have made things easier.

How about the seeed xiao esp32s3 sense, the tiny one with a camera?

I haven't seen that one yet. I should check it out

Were you able to check the auto focus capabilities?

Not really. I have a feeling that's done in software

You also need an autofocus lens. I don't believe this fisheye lens does that

The ESP32 was overheating, or the camera?

The camera was overheating. I was supposed to get back to that and explain that's why it was stuck to the memory card holder - as a heat sink
