Can someone provide source code for interfacing oled display with esp32-cam either using gpio13-14 or tx/rx pins or even using any available pins on the esp32 cam. I am not using the sd card reader. Moreover, i want to display texts over wifi to the oled.

Board was - AI thinker ESP CAM with PSRAM
I was following this tutorial for oled- https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-ssd1306-oled-display-arduino-ide/
Then decided to try the example code from the library - ssd1306_128x64_i2c
I had to add this line in void setup()
Wire.begin(14, 15, 100000); //SDA 14, SCL 15
This was taken from reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/esp32/comments/ccqk02/aithinker_esp32cam_how_do_i_connect_i2c_mpu6050/
Also had to first find the i2c address just to be sure - https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-i2c-scanner-arduino/
Final code
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>
#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128 // OLED display width, in pixels
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64 // OLED display height, in pixels
// Declaration for an SSD1306 display connected to I2C (SDA, SCL pins)
// The pins for I2C are defined by the Wire-library.
// On an arduino UNO: A4(SDA), A5(SCL)
// On an arduino MEGA 2560: 20(SDA), 21(SCL)
// On an arduino LEONARDO: 2(SDA), 3(SCL), ...
#define OLED_RESET -1 // Reset pin # (or -1 if sharing Arduino reset pin)
#define SCREEN_ADDRESS 0x3C ///< See datasheet for Address; 0x3D for 128x64, 0x3C for 128x32

Given the above info and the following link:
https://randomnerdtutorials.com/micropython-oled-display-esp32-esp8266/
I got my "bare" (not the esp32-cam-mb) esp32-cam to connect to the oled, while connected to the FTDI as well. The RNT link does not speak of the esp32 cam per se but their code works given the GPIOs above from https://stackoverflow.com/users/18790624/itsme-halewat
from machine import Pin, SoftI2C
import ssd1306
from time import sleep
# ESP32 Pin assignment
i2c = SoftI2C(scl=Pin(13), sda=Pin(15))
# ESP8266 Pin assignment
#i2c = SoftI2C(scl=Pin(5), sda=Pin(4))
oled_width = 128
oled_height = 64
oled = ssd1306.SSD1306_I2C(oled_width, oled_height, i2c)
oled.text('Hello, World 1!', 0, 0)
oled.text('Hello, World 2!', 0, 10)
oled.text('Hello, World 3!', 0, 20)
oled.show()

Well after searching i found the following solution which worked for me. For SDA and SCL i used pin 15 and pin 13 respectively ('SSD1306 display(0x3c, 15, 13);' this is the code which i changed) . I used this source code that i found online.
