ESP32 overheating, erroring out
Posted: Fri Jun 28, 2024 7:28 am
I'm using ESP32 WROOM board. I flashed initial samples successfully (blink via ESP-IDF and switch via zerocode) and was able to run them just fine.
Then I started experiencing issues that others reported too.
1. the board would constantly blink blue led when external power supply is used and GND pin used is the one next to RST. when I switched to the one next to TX0 it started working fine. (was using it with zerocode Roller blinds and a motor driver)
2. at some point the board went into a weird state where it rapidly heats up (both the regulator and the chip), the blue led is glowing but dim. it's always in this state now - even though i removed all connections and power it from PC's usb
3. in this state it is recognized by the PC on com port, but ESP-IDF can no longer flash it and errors out with "Failed to flash because of some unusual error. Check Terminal for more details"
Is there a way I could re-flash this board?
