ESP-EYE

[Shek20]

I've been working with micropython on the ESP32-C3, but now I want to switch to using the ESP-EYE board. I need to know if it's feasible to utilize micropython on the ESP-EYE and whether this has been accomplished before.

Can't say for sure, but looking at the specs from ESP-EYE Development Board V2.1 : ID 4095 : Adafruit Industries:

• WiSoC ESP32 dual core Tensilica LX6 processor with WiFi and Bluetooth
• Memory: 8MB PSRAM
• Storage: 4MB Flash
• Camera: 2MP OV2640 Camera
• Audio: MEMS Microphone
• USB: 1 microUSB port for power and programming over serial
• Misc: Reset, boot and function buttons, 2x LEDs
• Dimensions: 41 x 21 mm

that's a solid "probably works". You'll likely need the Support for SPIRAM / WROVER firmware version.

@shariltumin has done great work with ESP32 camera boards (such as shariltumin / esp32-cam-micropython-2022) but I don't see the ESP-EYE in there. Adafruit claim it's discontinued: can you still get these?
