HM01B0 Failing to start

I have been using the HM01B0 camera on a Sparkfun Edge board and it seems to be working intermittently (same hardware and firmware). I have been using the Example1_StopMotion example from the library.

The camera.begin function is failing with code 1:

b’Turned on camera regulator\r\nCamera.begin() failed with code: 1\nCalibrating Auto Exposure…\r\n’

I have read in forums from a few years ago saying it is the model ID of the camera not being able to be read - but no fixes other than buying a new camera.

Has anyone seen this recently and have any fixes?

Are you using the NON pre-compiled binaries? I remember that being a caveat for that combo
