Why does ESP DevKit have 0Ω resistors for the TX and RX?
I am trying to build my own ESP32 based PCB. I tried to copy the USB-to-serial circuit from the official DevKit. There I see two 0Ω resistors. Why did they add them? What do they do?
USB to Serial datasheet (cp2102n):…

Weird problem with usb2422 and CP2108
I've have a system consisting of a Raspberry Pi Zero W, a usb2422 USB-hub, a CP2108 Uart-to-USB converter as well as another USB device (lets call it device 2, it doesn't matter which one I plug in).
Starting the circuit up, i have access to device…

Why does the ESP32 DevKit has a green box?
I am trying to copy the ESP32 DevKit behavior in my own PCB (my pcb project).
I want that the ESP is powered from USB when plugged (for programming purpose only), but then powered by my external PSU when USB is not in use (normal operation).
While…

ESP32 USB-C connectivity issues with CP2102N
Context: I designed some PCBs for a device that uses the ESP32-PICO-D4 as a backbone connected with USB-C via the CP2102N. I manually assembled my PCB incrementally as to detect problems immediately as they come. Unfortunately, I did not get very…

ESP32 custom board flashing not working
I'm trying to build a custom microcontroller board based on the ESP32 chip (just the chip, not the WROOM module).
I've got to the point where all the power works and the USB to serial gets recognized. I'm now trying to flash the ESP, but the chip…

CP2102N chip recognized by Windows, but no data is received from ESP32-S3
I have a problem with a custom board.
I have tried to implement the CP2102N with the ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 module and an USB-C port in order to enable auto-download and write directly to the chip via a USB connection.
To be safe I also exposed the GND,…

COM Port not Detected on Windows for CP2102 on Custom PCB
I am using CP2102N-A02-GQFN24 on my custom PCB to program my ESP32 board. I am not able to see any COM port on my Windows 10 PC. I can connect to an off the shelf CP2102N-A02-GQFN28 USB UART bridge board to my computer. So I think that rules out…

Can DTR be replaced with GPIO0 in this USB to UART auto-program circuit?
These auto-program circuits have been popular for a long time. They replace the need to press boot and reset physically to put the MCU into programming mode.
Some USB to UART converters do not have a DTR pin, but do have GPIOs that can be programmed…
