ESP32 CAM Project Solar Prototype Tutorial

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

Trying to build a project with the ESP32-CAM? Here is my experience with prototyping the electronics for an IoT Bee Hotel with the nifty little RF module. Prototyping is the first step in the project and I have a second revision in the works with better integration and customization with the ICs in the modules that were used. Please let me know what you'd like to see in a more advanced PCB design for the Bee Hotel in the comments below!
