M5Stack CamS3 - Uploading Fine but seems to keep crashing

[vellad1]

Hi,

Not a super technical user so apologies if I am not providing all the info up front as not sure what is needed.

I purchased a number of M5 CamS3 for a personal project of mine. I have been trying to flash the est32cam-rtsp onto it and I am using PlatformIO. I am uncommenting the proper definition (default_envs = esp32cam_m5stack_unitcams3), complicing successfully and uploading succesfully. The problem is that once i remove the download pin bridge and reconnect to the USB port to power it up, it just does not. No Wifi AP is coming up.

I then tried with 'default_envs = esp32cam_espressif_esp32s3_eye' and built and uploaded successfully. The wifi AP comes up and I can connect (192.168.4.1). The problem in this case is that it fails to init the camer (Resutl 261 - ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND.

Any ideas what I could do please?
