| Jan 20, 2021 at 11:12 | comment | added | StarCat | I've come across this issue and I've had good results with a 10-100uF capacitor directly between the GND and 3.3V pins on the ESP32Cam board. It stopped random reboots. | |

So everywhere I said "USB" you can change to "FTDI". It's still via USB. Try powering the ESP32 directly, that is with a known good power supply. And the part about having a bad ESP32 still applies too. Many of these are poorly made. | |

| Jan 20, 2021 at 3:21 | comment | added | brad | I am connecting to the esp32 directly via ftdi. I tried both 3.3v and 5v and tried putting a 470uf capacitor right next to the vcc thinking it needed a bypass. I got zero change. The ftdi device is connected to a powered USB hub. I am not trying to power any other components. Joints look fine. | |
