Get out the USB to TTL adapter and remove the jumper clip from it.
Connect one set of jumper wires to the 5v
and GND
pins on the USB to TTL adapter and another set of jumper wires to the ``TXDand
RXD` pins.
Connect the jumper wires from the 5v
and GND
pins on the ESP32-CAM board to the rows marked (-) on the side of the breadboard.
Finally connect the jumper wires from the TXD
and RXD
pins on the USB to TTL adapter to the RX
and TX
pins on the ESP32-CAM board.
Note: Remember that the TXD
pin on the USB-TTL adapter connects to the RX
pin on the ESP32-CAM board and the RXD
pin on the USB-TTL adapter connects to the TX
pin on the ESP32-CAM board.
You can now add the colored button covers to your tactile buttons to complete the hardware.
Your IoT Hardware build is now complete! Congratulations, you’re now a hardware developer!
