This project was born from the vision of another project (StuartsProject) which allows you to send images with an ESP32CAM using a RFM95W.
In particular, I created a custom PCB that allows you to simplify the connections.
- First I created a schematic using EasyEDA.
- Then I arranged the various components for the PCB.
- And finally I placed the order on JLCPCB by importing the gerber file (LoRaCam_Gerber.zip) exported from EasyEDA.

Now, this PCB works perfectly with the project created by Stuart.
I noticed that there is a problem, the DIO0 of the RFM95W is not connected, this could be a problem for other uses. Therefore I modified the PCB, removing the buzzer and connecting the IO14 of the ESP32CAM to the DIO0 of the RFM95W.
In addition, this PCB (WITH THE CORRECTION!!!) allows you to use Meshtastic!
By copying the files into the Meshtastic_variant folder of this repository and following the official Meshtastic guide you can easily use it!
The next step I want to take will definitely be to create a new PCB where I remove the buzzer and connect the DIO0 of the RFM95W to the ESP32CAM. At the moment, I believe, there is no possibility to send images on Meshtastic. I hope that with the use of this PCB and the integration of Stuart's code it can be done somehow.
