I am using Espressif IDF extention v0.6.1. After flashing, i open the monitor which works just fine. However, if I recompile and try to flash again I get an error saying "SerialException: could not open port..." I know this is because it did not close the com port before it started flashing. Can you...

Granted, the 2040 seems cool and all. But there are a few things to consider. RPI has always had issues keeping stock. It does not even have a RTOS which is absurd for any multicore device. Working with the ESP32 for over a year now I have so much reusable good working solid code now, I'm just not w...

Holy cow!!! release v0.6.0 has quite the overhaul and the new install method went smooth as silk and looks great too!!!
What a awesome job you guys!!!

Well, since you seem like you like a good story here's mine. ;) I had a similar situation. One day I was bored and decided to have a look at all the devices connected to my router. I noticed 2 ESP_xxxx things on my network. I panicked, and immediately changed the network name and password. This time...

I have heard that the new ESP32-S3 has not included the Ethernet MAC. So close to having it all if this is the case.
If this is true, I hope Espressif will provide a path to use Ethernet as well.

Using VS Code with the Espressif IDF plugin i have installed 4.1 without a hitch. I now wanted to move to 4.2, but it wont let me get past "ESP-IDF Tools Define ESP-IDF tools install directory." part. It downloads all the extra tools, but after its done it just sits there and I cannot move onto the ...

Do the EN and BOOT (IO0) pins need to be made hi/lo in any sequence for the 'flash' process to begin ?

Absolutely. pull EN and IO0 low, then release EN, then release IO0. it will then be in programming mode.

You didn't say what environment your using whether Arduino or ESP-IDF.
I use ESP-IDF and you can change the upload speed via the idy.py
I.E. idf.py -p COM4 -b 921600 flash

I typically use 1152000 as my download rate.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you!
