USB serial issue using terminal block for firebeetle 2

I have a FireBeetle 2 ESP32 S3 and a dfrobot terminal block for Firebeetle 2 (v1.0)

 

When I connect the ESP32 to the PC USB port, Windows recognises the serial device and assigns a port.  If i put the ESP32 on the terminal block then attach the esp32 to the PC USB port, Windows reports that it cannot determine the device.

 

 

 

If i compile and upload a sketch such as blinking the LED when it's disconnected from the terminal block, then plug it into the terminal block and attach to the USB, it powers up and executes the code.

 

The same occurs with a different PC, different Firebeetle 2 and different terminal block (i have two of each).  The PC is running Windows 11, the USB ports on the PC I have tried are USB-C V3.1, USB-A V3.0 and V2.0.

 

It seems like the data isn't operating when I connect to the terminal block, only the power, which makes the terminal block pretty useless.

 

Any ideas?  Has anyone else encountered this problem, or know the solution?

I found the problem.The pins of Firebeetle ESP32-S3 are not D+,D-,D14, or A5, while the pins connected to the Terminal Block Board are 3V3,GND,SCL, and SDA.

Have these two products:

      https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2676.html

      https://www.dfrobot.com/product-2595.html

 

I have installed the usb drivers:

   CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver

   CH341SER

I have changed the usb cable.

I have connected a regulated 12V supply to the terminal block.

 

When the ESP32 is connected to the terminal block, the USB port does not work for serial connections.  I cannot use a serial monitor when on the terminal block for debugging.

Could you try to input 7-24V DC power supply on the terminal block to see if it could works?
