Hello Matrix Team,
I saw the interesting display and camera device support for the ESP32 line up.
Unfortunately I can not find a component for cmaera or display type in the component library.
Any advice and help please.

Hi Dirk,
Which board are you looking at and I'll see if we can add some support for it.
I have an DollaTek ESP32 T-Camera if that's the one your looking at.
The SSD1306 I2C display component should allow you to use the display.

Hi Ben,
thx for the reply.
Understood with SSD1306 I2C display, Very good!!
Regarding the ESP-32 modules with on board cameras I just started the evaluation.
If i put my requirements on a wish list, I know XMAS is over, it would look like the following:
1. Dedicated on board USB port in order to direct prog /flash the device from FlowCode
2. On board camera, resolution and camera specs. to be defined
3. On board SD drive in order to store camera pictures
4. Free UART serial port (not the above USB) in order to establish a remote control of the camera. Minimum 1 better 2 UART ports.
5. Free usable I2C port
6. A handfull free assignable GPIO Pins.
Your DollaTek ESP32 T-Camera module already fullfils some of the above.
Let me evaluate further and I come back to you. In between any suggestion is welcome!!
