lnstall drivers windows

Next, we will cover the driver installation for the ESP32 Development Board. The driver installation may have some Differences between different computer systems. So, in what follows, let’s move on to driver installation on Windows systems.A computer connected by a USB cable. Before starting the Arduino software, you will install the USB driver. When you first connect the ESP32 Board to your computer, right-click the computer icon – >properties – >click Device Manager under other devices or USB-Serial ,you should see an”Unknown device” icon with a small yellow warning triangle. This is the device where we need to install the driver

lnstall cp2101 drivers windows (For ESP32_DEVKIT_V1_Board)

For more details refer to Install CP2101 drivers Windows page.

lnstall CH343 drivers windows (For ESP32_S3_Board)

Check whether CH343 has been installed ESP32-S3 uses CH343 to download codes. So before using it, we need to install CH343 driver in our computers.

1.Connect your computer and ESP32-S3 with a USB cable
