Flashing ESP32 chip with FTDI Adaptor and DIY Connector||#esp32 #mcu #el...

Components Required: 1. ESP32 Wroom chip. 2. Prototyping board. 3. Male and Female header pins. 4. Jumper. 5. Push button. 6. Wires. 7. FTDI USB to TTL Adaptor(programmer). Every Microcontroller development board contains an inbuilt programmer to flash the chip which makes our life easier. But whenever we try to make any project the development boards look big and it not fit in the enclosures, So we use the microcontroller chips to make our own projects but it does not contain the programmer. In this video, I am going to show you how to make the programming connector to flash all types of MCU chips most easily. For your reference, I am providing the circuits to make your work easier. Please follow the steps and instructions: Step 1: Take the Prototyping board and cut it into pieces according to your requirements. Step 2: Now place the 1x6 Female header on the top right corner of the PCB board and solder. Step3: Now place the 1x6 male header on the top left corner of the PCB board and solder Step 4: Now place the push button on the PCB along with the resistor to the male header pin as shown in the circuit. This button is used to reset/restart the chip.

Step 5: Now solder the RX, and TX pins to the male header pins as shown in the circuit.

Step 6: Now place the jumper on the top of the PCB beside the button and solder to the male header pin as shown in the circuit.

Step 7: Now take the ESP32 Wroom chip and solder the RX, TX, Boot(IO0), Reset(EN), 3.3v, and GND wires.

Step 8: Now take the 1x6 Female header pins to connect the wires for flashing. Step 9: Now solder the LED to the IO2 for blinking after flashing the code that indicates our chip and connecter are working fine after flashing.

Step10: Now Connect the ESP32 Chip to the Flashing connector along with the FTDI Adaptor as shown in the circuit and connect to your PC/Laptop.

Step 11: Now open the Arduino ide and open the "ESP32 Dev module" select the port and upload the code.

While flashing the jumper pin should be placed on the male header pin for Booting, and once the flashing is done please remove the jumper and click on the reset button.

Step 12: Same circuit for Arduino Nano and Atmega328p.

Now enjoy the flashing and make wonderful projects with the MCU chips. If you like my video please support me by subscribing to my channel. Thank you
