# XIAO ESP32S3 Sense Example This example turns the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 Sense into a small RTSP camera streamer. It mirrors the newer ESP32-TimerCam streamer-style example: - connects to Wi-Fi - breathes the onboard user LED quickly while disconnected, then more slowly once connected - starts an RTSP server and advertises it over mDNS - captures MJPEG video from the onboard OV2640 camera - captures 16 kHz mono PCM audio from the onboard PDM microphone - mounts the onboard microSD card and performs a simple file write/read smoke test when present - serves both tracks from a single RTSP session - exposes a simple serial CLI with Wi-Fi and memory-monitor commands ## How to use example ### Hardware Required This example is designed to run on the Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32S3 Sense. ### Configuration Set the Wi-Fi credentials and RTSP port in `menuconfig`: ```bash idf.py menuconfig ``` Open **Camera Streamer Configuration** and set: - **WiFi SSID** - **WiFi Password** - **RTSP Server Port** - **RTSP accept/session/control task stack sizes** as needed for your target The defaults are tuned for the XIAO ESP32S3 Sense, including a larger RTSP control-task stack to avoid stack overflows in tasks named like `RtspSession <id>`. ### Build and Flash Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output: ```bash idf.py -p PORT flash monitor ``` (Replace PORT with the name of the serial port to use.) (To exit the serial monitor, type `Ctrl-]`.) After the board joins Wi-Fi it advertises an `_rtsp._tcp` mDNS service and starts streaming at: ```text rtsp://<board-ip>:<port>/mjpeg/1 ``` Track 0 is MJPEG video and track 1 is L16/16000 mono audio.
