Used prior references across a couple different posts. At this point I'm at a loss. Been trying to just make this board run to no avail. I have tried disconnecting all circuits, trying example code to test the board, different cables, and fully checked the CH340 drivers and com ports...
Outline of issue is essentially any time an upload starts the code begins then proceeds to lockup. I've attempted waiting it out but I know damn well the example blink code does not take over 6 hours to complete uploading (yes I waited 6 hours to see if it was really that slow) I've checked the board over and nothing appears faulty with the board. I'm not fully fluent in software, but I can confidently say this doesn't appear to be a hardware issue.

Overriding Baud Rate : 57600
The above code is what the compiler spits out. After it states baud rate nothing else comes out and it continues to "upload" indefinitely. Any help would be appreciated.
I did try this loader before and had the same issue and assumed the old loader was needed. Unsure what changed atp but I guess problem solved for now
