ESP8266 constantly resetting, but blink script works - arduino

Question

Hello I have been using the Wemos D1 mini lite for awhile now with this ArduCAM setup. Everything was working perfectly, but now my esp8266 is constantly resetting.
I unplugged the ArduCAM and saw I can ran the blink script successfully, but when I try to run a script where it attempts to connect to wifi, it constantly resets.
Here is my code:
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h> // Include the Wi-Fi library
const char* ssid = "ssid"; // The SSID (name) of the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to
const char* password = ""; // The password of the Wi-Fi network
void setup() {
Serial.begin(115200); // Start the Serial communication to send messages to the computer
delay(10);
Serial.println('\n');
WiFi.begin(ssid, password); // Connect to the network
Serial.print("Connecting to ");
Serial.print(ssid); Serial.println(" ...");
int i = 0;
while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) { // Wait for the Wi-Fi to connect
delay(1000);
Serial.print(++i); Serial.print(' ');
}
Serial.println('\n');
Serial.println("Connection established!");
Serial.print("IP address:\t");
Serial.println(WiFi.localIP()); // Send the IP address of the ESP8266 to the computer
}
void loop() { }
When I run this, I get the following:
load 0x4010f000, len 1392, room 16
tail 0
chksum 0xd0
csum 0xd0

over and over and over.
I don't understand what is happening. Did I possibly short it? It couldn't have been the ArduCAM, since this was working fine already.
edit:
I found out that the Wifi.begin(ssid,password) command causes the constant reboots. When I remove this, it doesn't reboot. How can I fix this?

Answer 1

I think your main loop is empty. Add while(true) in the main loop function
and it´s better to set the esp in sation mode.
WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);
