Hello everyone,
I have a SparkFun ESP32 Thing Board, with which I want to control some Neopixel LED. I'm new to the whole ESP32/Arduino topic.
I followed this tutorial for my setup:
https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/using-artnet-dmx-and-the-esp32-to-drive-pixels?_ga=2.21633981.725784081.1530282241-1247954538.1530282241
For uploading the sketch from Arduino IDE to the ESP32, I have to hold the physical "boot button 0" on the board, until the sketch starts uploading:
esptool.py v.2.3.1 Connecting..... -> pushing boot button -> transfer starts
Everything worked fine until yesterday. Now, the sketch won't upload, even if I hold down the "boot button".
(-> A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to ESP32: Timed out waiting for packet header).
Also the physical reset button doesn't seem to work anymore. (before: connection to WiFi gets refreshed by pushing the reset button). I dont get any output to the serial monitor.
The blue LED on the ESP32 at PIN 5 was blinking before, now it either constantly glows or doesn't glow at all.
What can I do to upload sketches to the ESP32? The ESP32 gets recognized from the USB port.
Thanks in advance!
