Re: Downloading Firmware Question

Thank you for that info.

Is esptool the command-line version of the same thing? I'm wondering if I can use eep-tool on my mac, to try and mimic what the testers will do with my binary files.

Downloading Firmware Question

Hi. I have made a custom board. I use VSCode and PlatformIO to write the firmware directly to the prototypes I have. It all works well. I now need to send the firmware to an assembly company overseas. They say that they know how to install firmware using this https://www.espressif.com/en/support/dow...

Re: What's the best way to differentiate between two custom ESP32 boards?

That's a good idea. Maybe when I test the assembled devices, I can also set the FUSE!

Re: What's the best way to differentiate between two custom ESP32 boards?

Thank you. A one to two dollars a chip is a hefty price to pay for this.

Especially when I am paying $1.50 for the ESP32.

I’ll see if I can free up some GPIO for this.

What's the best way to differentiate between two custom ESP32 boards?

I have two, and maybe more in the future, separate ESP32 custom boards. They are very similar except one is a little newer and has a buzzer attached to one pin via a transistor, and the older one does not. I want to run pretty much the same code on both, but I need to know which board it is. It is d...

PCB assembly service for an ESP32 board

Anyone know of a good and reasonably priced assembly company for a custom ESP32 board (already designed)?

I've contacted PCBWay and their rates are attractive, but I want to make sure there aren't better ones. I saw some complaints that PCBWay had a high percentage of bad finished boards.

Thank you!

Re: Adding a camera for still pictures

Thank you. That's a good starting point. I'll have to learn about DVP and RAM needs of taking pictures.

Adding a camera for still pictures

Hi. I have a custom ESP32 board using an ESP32C3mini. For my next project, I'd like to be able to take still photos, with a nice wide-angle lens (almost fish-eye).

What are the pros and cons of staying with the existing ESP32C3Mini vs moving to ESP32-CAM?

Thank you.

Using Serial.print() without a serial connection == slow performance?

Hi. I have a board that was custom designed. I am using the built-in JTAG/USB wired from the ESP32 to the USB connector as how I upload code and see printouts via Serial.print() to the Arduino IDE console (I still have not figured out how to see the same console info on PlatformIO, like i used to wi...
