ESP32-CAM Programming Shield FTDI Adapter with USB

The ESP32-CAM Programming Shield FTDI adapter with USB is a small board that plugs under an ESP32-CAM so you can program and power it straight from a computer's USB port. It replaces the usual separate USB-to-serial (FTDI-type) adapter and jumper wires, and its buttons for reset and boot mode make uploading Arduino or MicroPython code to the ESP32-CAM much quicker.

ESP32-CAM Programming Shield Specifications

• Compatible board: ESP32-CAM (AI-Thinker pinout)
• Function: USB-to-serial programming and 5 V power for the ESP32-CAM
• Connections: USB port to the computer, female headers for the ESP32-CAM
• Buttons: IO0 (boot / flash mode) and RST (reset)
• Software: Arduino IDE, ESP-IDF or MicroPython

ESP32-CAM Programming Shield Applications

• Uploading code to the ESP32-CAM without extra wiring
• Reading debug messages in the serial monitor
• Powering the camera board during bench tests
• Wi-Fi camera, face detection and time-lapse projects

What's in the Box

• 1 × ESP32-CAM programming shield

Tip: In the Arduino IDE, choose the AI Thinker ESP32-CAM board and the shield's COM port; if no port appears, install the driver for its USB-serial chip (usually CH340). If an upload fails, hold IO0, press RST, release IO0 and upload again.

Orders placed before 14:00 are ready for pickup the same day. Delivery across Lebanon usually takes 1–3 working days.
