Using the FTDI Adapter to program the ESP32-CAM is a bit of a hassle. This is why many vendors now sell the ESP32-CAM board along with a small add-on daughterboard called the ESP32-CAM-MB. You stack the ESP32-CAM on the daughterboard, attach a micro USB cable, and click the Upload button to program your board. It’s that simple.

The ESP32-CAM AI-Thinker MB programmer is a shield that you attach to your ESP32-CAM board GPIOs.
