I’m unable to garner a response from the onboard ESP32 using the onboard cp2102 or a stand alone one as well. I get to Connecting… and that’s it. Eventually the request times out. I made sure to connect the DTR pin on the FTDI adapter to the RTS pin (22). I can’t connect with our without it. Since these do not have a boot/flash button, but the PRG button does nothing. Thanks for the help!
P.S. This did work at some point, but I have no idea what changed. I tried esptool from the CLI, The Arduino IDE (latest) and PlatformIO in VScode.
