Story
You can check the complete tutorial under: #MicroPython: Portable time-lapse camera using an ESP32-CAM
The MicroPython official version doesn't support I2S interface. However, tsaarni wrote a driver for the OV2640 and forked the MicroPython repository to include it. Thus, you need to follow the instructions in this article: MicroPython: Taking photos with an ESP32 to install the right firmware.
