What have I done wrong?

The hardware works fine when programmed with Arduino IDE 2.3.4 for testing the WiFi - Works fine -

Hi

Use the ‘Install’ option rather than ‘Prepare….’ it will then ask for your yaml you have downloaded.

Are you plugging in the esp to your PC?

Are you sure the usb cable isn’t a charging only cable?

Is the Jtag device showing in the com port selector your esp device?

What happens if you go to hardware management on windows & plug/unplug your esp? Does it show up under serial devices?

  Yes.

I have also tried on an other PC with the same result.

The strange thing is that I had success last week when I followed the procedure in the Youtube:

But when I tried to repeat with other identical ESPs my success failed.

I have tried both options with the same result.

Some ESP boards needs to be put in programming mode first, like holding down a button and then connecting the power.

It looks like your device might be programmed, so some boards can not be reset over the USB after having been set in programming mode, so try to disconnect it for 5 secs and the reconnect it to see if it does not come up then.

You hit the center of the target.
Removed the board 10 sec. Connect to external power.




Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot guys.
I now have two working ESP32-C3 devices running with my first simple function installed.

output:

  • platform: gpio
    inverted: True
    id: led1
    pin: GPIO08

switch:

  • platform: output
    id: axl7_led1_switch
    name: LED 1
    output: led1
