Hello All,
I’ve been programming SparkFun ESP32 products for years and I’m having problems getting Serial to work on this product.
I created a basic Serial test with the following code…
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
while(!Serial);Serial.println(“SETUP Complete”);
}void loop() {
delay(1000);
Serial.println(“Loop”);
}
I am using the board definition in the Arduino IDE (v2.3.4 on Win11) of “SparkFun ESP32-S3 Thing Plus” and it is located on COM6. I have tried several other board definitions but nothing seems to work.
I can compile and upload this sketch but there is no output on the IDE Serial Monitor.
I have a SparkX ESP32 Thing Plus C and the sketch works just fine.
I have closed the IDE and restarted. I have restarted my computer. I have cycled power on the board.
I checked Win11 Device Manager to see if there any “Hidden” devices assigned to COM6 and there are none. One thing I did notice is that COM6 of the device is "USB Serial Device (COM6) and the
SparkX ESP32 Thing Plus C is USB-Serial CH340.
Thoughts??
