Hi, very new adopter here, I have looked at so many youTubes (they all make this look so easy). This is my first project, so go easy. (i dont really understand uart, let alone anything else at the MOMENT)
ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 connection to LD2410c only works if i use 3v out on the esp32 board?
If i use the 5v like everybody says to do i get Warning [ld2410:596]: “Max command length exceeded; ignoring”.
I believe if I’m connected to the 3v, its using Bluetooth to connect the LD2410C not the uart pins? Is this right? Very confusing.
This is my Yaml ( sorry stuck everything on there out of desperation).

What I’m trying to do is make a Bluetooth room presence sensor for bermuda that has mmwave as well.
I think this is working but i hear the Bluetooth on the LD2410C can be flakey, so i would like it to run from the esp32. Does that make sense?
What am i doing wrong? Do i need to define both u0txd pin 43 and u0rxd pin 44 as well as the u1txd and u1rxd? I assume the 5v pin on the esp32 is output?
Can any of you geniuses help me, any help will do, to point me in the right direction.
UPDATE: Actually everything seems to be working as i wanted, i just turned Bluetooth off on the LD2410c…still detecting. I would still like to understand why its not working from the 5V (like everybody seems to suggest in tutorials) . I seemed to have, fluked, my first project lol
Its hard to tell if “knockoff board” or not on amazon.
