Hello, I bought esp from aliexpress and I have a problem with the connection, can anyone advise me what drivers I have to install I tried ch340 but the device is not recognized
Welcome to the forum
What serial chip does the board have on it ?
Does the computer recognize that any device has been plugged into the USB port? If not, try another USB cable, some cables are charge-only cables, and do not have the data lines.
yes
I attached photos of the board
Post the link of that shop where you bought it.

lookup if this shop has links where you can download drivers.
The letters on the chip are
You could give the FTDI-driver a try.

What IDE are you using?
Have you selected the correct board in board manager?
Have you selected the correct port under tools?
I solved it, found right drivers
As a thankyou to the community
you should post what driver is it
and where can this driver be downloaded
.
best regards Stefan
I used this drivers D2XX Drivers - FTDI
and use Available as a setup executable
You can select the ESP8266 generic, you just have to ground the GPIO0 while uploading. It is like using the FT232 board to upload instead of the usb cable. Worked for me.
