Hi,
Just wanted to give a quick heads-up for people, that have problems powering stuff via the 5v pin on cheap knockoff ESP32-S3 boards.
Took me a while to figure out, but you have to bridge the little pads just above pin 11 and 12. Caveat: Doing so disables the USB connector (the bottom one).
Likewise; you have to bridge the pads above the RGB LED if you want to enable that.
Thank you for this!
The 2 pad beside RGB if connected will enable the onboard LED to be active(The white square).On my board they are connected at the factory and this use GPIO48. The IN-OUT over the pin 10-11 if connected will enable 5V output but my board doesn’t have any mention of 5V out. If you connect the IN-OUT together ,do not connect a 5V in with a USB-C in the same time,this will damage the board beyond repair.
