Please take some time to review the schematic I created to test the ESP32_S3_Mini_1_N8. The goal is to send code and connect to Wi-Fi. A few days ago, I made a single-layer test circuit, but it failed to detect the ESP32 port on my PC. I've redesigned it, so please check if there are any issues.
If everything is fine, then I will pour ground planes on the PCB layout.
So why was it not detected?
Did you fix the error on this new schematic?
I added 5.1K resistors at CC1 and CC2
i got recommendation to add 5.1K resistor at USB_C CC1 and CC2
That would definitely keep it from enumerating. Were you using a USB-C to USB-C cable?
Before you build another board I would try your old board with a USB-C to USB-A cable and see if it works. If it doesn't, then the missing resistors were not the only problem.
I tested my ESP32 by making a direct connection; it showed me the port, and I uploaded the test code as well.
