WROOM not connectable to pc

Hello, yesterday i connected my ESP32 development board to my pc and it connected,like normal. Then i erased the sketch and now it will not connect anymore.

Could anyone help me please.

I'm a noob to all of this but i want to learn for a small project i want to start for growing chilli peppers.

thank you in advance.

Kind regards Renaultje

First, read the pinned post re 'How to get the most from the forum'. Then show us something we can work with other than just words.

welcome to the arduino-forum.
I'm pretty sure that you agree and will follow the way how to solve your problem mimimum 200 minutes faster.
This requires to invest 20 minutes of your precious time to read how to speedup solving your problems.

Directly after registering you got presented informations how to speed up solving your problem.
You should really read it.

First of all sorry for my first post, this was mainly because I am frustrated because I can't get it to work. It is an ESP32 Development Board type C, CP2102 WiFi+Bluetooth Dual core ESP32-DevKitC 38 Pin.

What happens is that I connect it to my laptop yesterday, using a USB C cable and it is recognized in Arduino IDE, I try the first sketch to make an LED flash. This did not work and so I deleted the sketch. Now the board is no longer recognized.

What I have already tried is resetting the board using the button on the board, other cables, without the development board, all this without the desired result. Now I have connected an Arduino Uno to see if my USB ports still work. This shows that the ports are still good.

So my question is whether this can still be solved or whether the board is probably broken?

My ultimate goal is to use this to create an automated greenhouse on a small scale, to grow chilli peppers early in the year, to get a good start in the summer. They are mainly heat-loving plants, which need to remain fairly moist in the early stages of growth. With the necessary sensors this should be automatable. Such as humidity, temperature and soil moisture. Whether or not read out via a screen or telephone.

Hoping that I have provided you with enough information to help me further. As I said in my first post, I am a newbie in the field of programming, but I do have a background in electronics.

Kind regards

Post a picture of your ESP32-board.

38pin means that the SPI-bus used for the onboard flashmemory is routed to pins.
They are are not usable.

Still much more information needed if you want further help
What Operating-System does your computer have?

Windows 10?
Windows 11
Linux? (which one?)
Mac?

For analysing if the board is really broken you have to lookup what the device-manager is showing.

What does that mean? No longer recognized in the arduino-IDE?
not longer recognised by the operation system?

Do you hear that USB-device connected sound if you plug-in the ESP32-board?

As a rare exception to the general rule of posting text you should post screenshots of your arduino-IDE how it is adjusted.
