ESP32-C3 repeatedly disconecting from usb

[Timotej]

I've connected my brand new ESP32-C3-02 module:

(D+ to pin 19, D- to pin 18, 3.3V to a 3.3V regulator, and the regulator into the USB's 5V, GND to GND, and pin EN through a 10k ohm resistor to 3.3V).

But when I connect the USB connector into my Windows 10 computer, I hear the sound of a connected device, but about one second later, I hear the sound of a disconnecting device, and every next second or so, I just hear the disconnecting sound again and again. When I tried a different PC, it had the same problem.

I don't know what I should try; I tried 5 different modules, and it happened with every one of them. Maybe new USB drivers? Maybe something with efuse? I don't know. I would really appreciate your help or any ideas.

An ESP32C3 will do that if it has no program in it. Try pulling GPIO9 low, reset it, and program it.

And it just works now.
This should be written somewhere with a very large font

Thank you.

I have a ESP32-C3 SuperMini. how can I pull the GPIO9 Low in order to make this work?

Thanks

Press and hold the BOOT button, then press and release the RST button.

MicroController, your Boot/Rst suggestion allowed me to end an entire day of suffering trying to get Docker,KVM/QEMU and virtualbox vm's talking to a C3 board through vscode.

Thanks!
