visual studio code - Issue with OV2640 camera and ESP32

Question

I have an OV2640 camera I am trying to integrate with a ESP32_Devkitc_v4 chip and having troubles with the camera initialization. I am not sure I have all the connections correct and have updated the KConfig file to enable this camera.

Pinouts:

Camera => ESP32
CS     => D0
MOSI   => 23
MISO   => 19
SCK    => 18
SDA    => D2
SLC    => D1

It also needs this: Enable PSRAM on menuconfig or type it directly on sdkconfig.

But for the life of me I cannot find the 'menuconfig' in the VSCode IDE.

Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks.

Answer 1

Assuming you've installed ESP IDF according to the installation manual you open a terminal window, go to the root directory of your source project, activate the ESP IDF environment and run the idf.py with argument menuconfig. Sample for Linux/Mac users:

$ cd your_project_folder
$ . $HOME/esp/esp-idf/export.sh
$ idf.py menuconfig

I doubt if this has been integrated with VSCode.
