Unable to flash ESP32-S3 DevKitC 1 N8R8

[mikelisfbay]

Hi,

I need help. I just bought the ESP32 S3 board from Adafruit. I am not able to flash it even if I pressed down the boot button. I keep getting the invalid head of packet (0x1B). If you know the solution, please help me.

Thank you,
Michael
