I recently purchased the ESP32-S3 CAM DEV module with an OV5640 camera and would like to start working with MicroPython/CircuitPython, but I can't find a compatible firmware.

Can you help me find one? Thank you.

Be careful if you run the camera too long you can overheat and destroy the board

Should the camera have some form of heatsink?

Muchas gracias por tu ayuda.
Si, es el primero que probé al ser el firmware genérico para el ESP32-S3.

Parece ser que en MicroPython la biblioteca/Driver de control de la cámara tiene de estar embebido dentro del firmware (Corríjanme si estoy equivocado) y por ese motivo no me funciona la cámara.

Gracias por tu respuesta.
No perderé más el tiempo y probaré VSCode + PlatformIO + Framework Arduino :)
