Arrived on time and packed in a sturdy cardboard box containing an antistatic envelope surrounding the product itself. The product was quickly put into service flashing software onto an ESP32-CAM board which lacks the on-board USB-serial converter that most of today's microcontroller boards include.
I plugged the module into a USB port on a Windows 10 laptop and, after a short delay, it showed up as COM7, no driver installation needed. Drivers for Windows, Mac and Linux are easily found on the Internet if required.
I connected the serial and power lines from the module to the ESP board with DuPont wires and shorted out a link to put the ESP into download mode, then compiled and loaded the software via the Arduino environment. All went without a hitch, despite some of these ESP boards having a reputation for being tricky to flash.
Cut/paste of one of the messages on Arduino console:
"Wrote 902304 bytes (487502 compressed) at 0x00010000 in 11.9 seconds (effective 604.1 kbit/s)... "
Conclusion: Does the job well, useful addition to the gadget toolbox.
