FireBeetle ESP32-E does not connect on Arduino IDE
![userHead](https://dfimg.dfrobot.com/dfPortrait2.png)
Hello! Recently bought FireBeetle ESP32-E from here https://aliexpress.ru/item/1005002724454945.html
I have setting up my Arduino IDE as it is described here https://wiki.dfrobot.com/FireBeetle_Board_ESP32_E_SKU_DFR0654
But it does not connect, I have tried different cables, windows and linux OS, even different computers but it does not work. I checked my arduino nano and it works properly.
Do you have any ideas how to get it worked?

Hi,
I have the same issue. I have an iMac with M1 silicon running MacOS Ventura 13.1 running the Arduino IDE 2.02, and have connected to the FireBeetle ESP32-E with a USB-C cable. I'm trying to FLASH the blink program, but it always times-out waiting for packet header. I recognize the serial port, and have reduced the upload speed to 115K, but I always get the timeout.
I've tried pressing the rst button during “connecting” and this does not work. I have tried two different FireBeetle ESP32-E devices, and both fail.
What do I need to do to program this device?

You can try to press and hold the RST button, while the IDE shows connecting……
And if it still not works, then it might be the hardware failure.
