Problem running ESP32-Wroom

[arturlazarini]

Hi everyone,

I am having this issue while flashing my ESP32 Wroom with my custom board in the attachments (I dont have a devkit).

Looks like my flashing was complete:

If i press the only the EN button, this is what shows on monitor:

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x1 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_FEI_REO_V2))
waiting for download

So I suppose the device is seeing my GPIO0 as low, even though it should be high?

My GPIO12 (MTDI) is low using the internal pull-down so my device should woek in 3.3V, but my pins GPIO0, GPIO2 and GPIO15 (Strapping pins) are showing with 1.6V.
Shouldn't it be around 3.3V?

PS.: Can't flash using ESP Download Tools 3.4.4. (Picute in the attachments).

Im trying to run the app like crazy but nothing works.
Any ideias?


Thanks !

According to your schematic, you're missing a PullUp on IO0

[arturlazarini]

Hi,
I already tried that.
I used a 10k pullup in GPIO0, but my device started do reset the USB.
Like if it were pluged and unpluged every 20 seconds.

Because of that I cant connect or do anything.

It looks like my GPIO0 is connected to 1.8V directly.

Thank you all.

Best regards,

Dear Martin,

I already tried to put a 10K pullup to 3.3V in GPIO0.

But my device gets crazy and starts to "reboot", like if someone keep on pluging and unpluging the USB conection.

Thank you for the response.

Best regards,
Artur Lazarini

1152000 has extra zero on DL tool

What is your power supply? It sounds like you're feeding the ESP32 from the 3.3V output of the USB-to-serial converter. These things usually can only supply 100mA or so, which is way less than the ESP32 requires when turning on its WiFi peripherals; this causes a brown-out and that can result in the issues you describe.

Hi evereyone,

Im really using the 3.3v output from my USB convertes, that might be it.
I will try to change my power supply.

Thank you guys for the help.

Dear Sprite,

That was it.
Now the device is working.

Thanks for the help.
