hello,
im having a issue with a pcb that i have had built. i didnt know how to make a pcb so i paid someone to make it the plans and then use jlcpcb to make them for me. theyve arrived now but i cant upload my code onto the esp32 thats on the pcb. i get the attached error.
would someoone be able to look at the wiring diagram and attached photos and tell me if everything is correct or if the person ive paid has made a mistake.
thank you
nvm i cant upload anything because im a new user
To post images etc. you need trust level 1, you can get there by:
Users at trust level 1 can...
Your first step should be to breadboard the circuit to make sure it works as intended. Then compare the PCB to the breadboard using a meter in continuity mode.
To be perfectly honest, the odds of you and/or your contractor making a mistake is very high as you are new to this. If you paid someone you should have had a performance clause, no payment until it works.
Super annoying.
That you should be able to post (and since you need to post stuff anyway) by simply selecting the message, copy for forum, put the cursor on an empty line in your post and click on (CODE) and paste the message.
Yes, as soon as you have posted them.
Welcome!
I suspect it is a design problem, JLPCB is a quality supplier with reasonable rates.Did you do a design review? Without the annotated, schematic and code there is not much we can do. Note: frizzes are wiring diagrams not schematics. follow the suggestions given by @LarryD, @sonofcy, @Deva_Rishi and @jim-p.
Ok, obviously this is my day to be confused. I thought we wanted wiring diagrams even if hand drawn and not schematics. don;t we ask that to ensure the correct connections have been done to achieve the intent of the schematic?
It is true that users with the "new user" trust level (TL0) are prevented from attaching files to their posts. Likewise, it is true that the users who encounter this restriction can quickly and easily resolve the problem by taking a bit of time to browse the forum and thus earn a higher trust level. However, that restriction does not apply to images. The only restriction on images is the maximum number per post.
In cases where a new user reports they were not able to post an image, this usually means they used an inappropriate file format for sharing an image (e.g., putting the image in a Microsoft Word document).
So there should have been no problem with @urbanspacegoat accomplishing the "attached photos" component of goal:
It is possible that it could be reasonable to share a "wiring diagram" in a file format other than a standard image. For example, it is common practice to share schematics as a PDF. However, I do think that generally it is best to use images when possible. The image will be rendered as part of the post content, which makes it so readers of the post can immediately see what it contains. Conversely, it is necessary to open a PDF in order to see what it contains. It is possible some forum helpers might not feel comfortable with opening a PDF shared by a random person on the Internet (unlike images, there are some security attack vectors in the PDF format), or perhaps won't have their mobile device set up to view PDFs.
