Some of our readers reported that they could only upload code when the ESP32 was powered with 5V. One of our readers reported the following: “ found out that you can program the board with a USB-to-TTL module model CP2102 and that the CH340 model does NOT work“. Also, check that you have the FTDI programmer jumper cap set to 5V. You should also press the on-board Reset button to restart your ESP32 in flashing mode. Important: if you can’t upload the code, double-check that GPIO 0 is connected to GND and that you selected the right settings in the Tools menu.

However, we’ve gathered all the information given by our readers to get answers to the most common issues. Please note that we couldn’t reproduce some of the errors on our end. We’ve modified some lines on the code, so most of the problems related with that project should be fixed.
