ESP32 Forum

Hi guys! I have an issue.
My esp32 needs the capacitor connected between enable and ground to enter the auto boot mode using the Arduino IDE.
The problem is that i need to press EN button to start the program but all that happens is weird characters showing at the serial port (as i show below). I don't know why that happens, but i need to keep pressing it until the code initialize.
Anyone knows how to fix it?
(the code i uploaded is the simplest example, blinking the inboard led)

Olá, eu vi o tutorial mas ainda não resolveu o problema. Não sei porque esses caracteres ficam aparecendo.

Hi Guilherme,
This wrong characthers is because, there is a mismatch between Speed of Arduino console and speed of ESP32 Serial interface.
Probally wrong setup! Did you test my tutorial ?
Try change speed of Arduino Console. What is the speed of your Sketch?
