Computer not recognising ES32 wroom boards

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

Hi,

My PC (good spec Win 11) will not recognise my ESP 32 WROOM 32 boards when thay are plugged in on usb. I assume that there are drivers missing but, where do I find them?

It does recognise an old ESP 32 Cam board if that helps.

Do you hear the Windows USB connection sound when it's plugged in?

Screenshot of the Windows device manager in View -> Device by container mode before and after the device is plugged in?

OS, DevMan, IDE?

When I plug one in the PC goes “du du” and a line comes up in Device Manager:-

CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller but nothing else happens.

what do you think ?

Then grab the universal windows driver from CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP Drivers - Silicon Labs and install it.

If that one doesn't work, try the "VCP Windows" one.

The ESP 32 Cam appears in the arduino IDE

That is good. How does DevMan see it? (maybe the driver needs an update, or a different driver)

Thanks a lot Guys, loaded the CP210x drivers and all is fine.

I tried this before but obviously got it wrong. Thanks again
