Putting esp32-camera into the components directory of esp-idf

[uraich]

With esp-idf v5.5.1, which is used with new MicroPython versions, putting esp32-camera into the components folder of esp-idf does not work any longer. You must place esp32-camera outside of the esp-idf directory tree and refer to it in main/idf_component.yml.

Thanks for the comment. In fact I have the camera running with Mauro's interface. I just wanted to tell him, that changes are needed. I will however have a look at your API.

I just saw in your installation description:

Alternatively, you can clone the https://github.com/cnadler86/esp32-camera repository inside the esp-idf/components folder instead of altering the idf_component.yml file.

... and this you cannot do if you use esp-idf-v5.5.1, which is the version recommended by MicroPython

yes, I missed to update the documentation for that. Thanks for the hint.
