I added this
monitor_rts = 0
monitor_dtr = 0
But still dont see nothing… My hardware till the same, that you post me
I dont change anything, the same connections between load connection and run
But you have to remove the IO0 <–> GND connection for the code to run after upload, and reset the board. Otherwise it will just stay in bootloader mode after reset.

One other thing to be careful with is that the RST button on the ESP32-CAM-MB board behaves differently from the RST button on the camera. I had no success until I used the IO0 and the cameras RST.
The ESP32-CAM-MB board also has a strange impact on video speed. Notice the framerate, then touch the camera with your finger and things should speed up. Can’t remember where I found it but someone attributes this to ground loading on IO0.

I’m using USB from my laptop directly to the board how do I fix the error
For anyone completely stuck and tried everything:
Some ESP32-CAM boards have that pin near the big LED labeled “GND/R”. This is where most tutorials and posts say to connect the ground from the serial board. This will NOT work because that pin is not a ground. Use any of the other real GND pins and assuming you’re doing the other stuff correctly then everything should work.

I have made the above connections properly and uploaded the camera webserver code, I can see the tx light blinking in the ftdi module but the esp32cam is not receiving, how to establish the uart connection, Can you help me out with this please.
pressing RST pin of Cam module after pressing and holding IO0 really helps as it make the ESP32 cam to get into boot loader mode thank you so much
