ESP32 Flashing Web based

[ricardonunosr]

Hi,

I bought from one the links a ESP32-WROOM-32, I assembled it like the diagram and connect to my computer(Mac M1).

I click the connect button and try to install home assistant glow on it and if I open up the developer tools I get a timeout.
I tried different cables but same outcome.
Is this a known behaviour?

If the web based doesn't work, is there some instructions on how to flash manually through command line I could follow? new to these microcontroller stuff

Are you sure the cables you've used are data compatible? I made that mistake at first, and then the second cable I tested was only working if I held it in a specific position! The third cable worked fine and flashed very quickly.

Check this article, you may be missing some drivers:
