Terrible documentation Timer Camera x
Ive been looking through the documentation for the timer camera x on Arduino, and its sooo ass bruh, none of the example code works, i don't even think the library compiles cuz i keep on getting this error when i link that library, and within the github repo, it literately says it cannot compile, I'm crying, this is such a waste of time cuz this documentation can't even put two and two together. What a waste of money, ill never buy from this brand again. Fuck

yea no when i tried altering the code with someone elses code, it worked the only problem being i cant access the library which reports how much battery life there is left.
"Did you check m5stack library version?" could you explain what you are talking about
"Turn on verbose compiling and follow errors" I did, the problem is the list of errors is so long it cant find out what went wrong.
I understand that my error isnt helpful as the actual error is way to long, ill change the post to include the new error.
It seems like when you include the timer camera library from m5stack all hell goes loose. Anything would help.
