here is the detailed short video

And what's in that video?

3

did you understand the problem

4

you did not write the problem.

5

problem is that i want to do auto program it uisng FTDI

6

What do you mean by "auto program"?

It seems there might be a slight misunderstanding. The ESP32-C3 is a microcontroller chip developed by Espressif Systems, similar to the ESP32 but with some differences in architecture and features. It doesn't use an FTDI chip for programming like some other development boards might. Instead, it typically uses a USB-to-serial converter chip (such as CH340 or CP2102) to interface with a computer for programming and debugging.

However, the programming process for the ESP32-C3 is quite similar to the ESP32. You'll still use the ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework) for development, which includes tools for flashing firmware to the ESP32-C3.

Here's a general overview of the steps involved in programming an ESP32-C3 using the ESP-IDF:

  1. Setup Development Environment: Install the ESP-IDF and required toolchain on your development machine. You can find detailed instructions in the ESP-IDF documentation.
  2. Connect ESP32-C3 to Computer: Use a USB cable to connect your ESP32-C3 development board to your computer.
  3. Configure Project: Create or open an existing ESP-IDF project for your application. Make sure to configure the project settings appropriately for the ESP32-C3.
  4. Write Code: Write your application code in C or C++ using the ESP-IDF APIs. This code will control the behavior of your ESP32-C3 device.
  5. Build Project: Use the ESP-IDF build system to compile your project code into a firmware binary.
  6. Flash Firmware: Use the ESP-IDF tools (such as esptool.py) to flash the firmware binary onto the ESP32-C3 device connected to your computer via USB.
  7. Monitor Output (Optional): Use a serial terminal program (e.g., minicom, PuTTY) to monitor the serial output from the ESP32-C3 for debugging purposes.
  8. Test and Debug: Test your application on the ESP32-C3 and debug any issues that arise.

The process doesn't directly involve an FTDI chip. However, if your ESP32-C3 development board includes a USB-to-serial converter chip (like CH340 or CP2102), it will handle the USB communication between the ESP32-C3 and your computer, similar to how an FTDI chip functions on other development boards.

ChatGPT copycat?

Have you done a search? E.g. arduino programming ESP32-C3 mini - Google Search

First hit (Programming a ESP32-C3-MINI-1) might help: else you have some more digging to do.

Note:
I'm not familiar with ESP32 at all so this is the best I can do.

Why not using the following ESP32 C3 Super Mini Dev Board (Fig-1)?
