Need suggestions regarding selecting proper hardware

I'm currently working on a project which requires to communicate over Matter Wifi6/ Thread and also be able to take and stream live videos from camera and should have MICs so that the voice commands can be sent to the cloud. Now, I learnt that ESP32-C6 is capable of Matter Wifi6 and Thread but camer...

Re: ESP32-C3 needs external flash chip?

So according to this link: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/variants/esp32c3/pins_arduino.h Should I write digitalWrite(SCK, HIGH); to turn ON the LED or like how it should be? I'm not asking about what logic I need to pass. What I'm trying to know is, On my custom PCB LED is c...

Re: ESP32-C3 needs external flash chip?

I have this PCB custom made that uses ESP32C3 FN4. Initially I had lot of problems like not using the ESP variant with in built flash and using some another crystal instead of 40MHz and I wasn't able to upload any sketches to my custom PCB. After long long long awaiting, I finally managed to get my ...

Re: ESP32-C3 needs external flash chip?

After long waiting finally I found the perfect 40MHz crystal that matches the footprint on my PCB and I managed to replace it. After that successful replacement, my board is accepting the code and executing it. I tried uploading serial printing code from Arduino IDE and I can see "Hi" on the serial ...

Yeah, you need a 40MHz crystal indeed, the C3 won't properly work with a 32MHz one. Your Arduino settings look like they should work, however I'm not an expert on that topic.
Thanks for the reply. I have ordered 40MHz crystals from DigiKey. Will drop an update as soon as I made any progress

Re: ESP32-C3 needs external flash chip?

Please check if power supply is not less than 500 mA. Add RC not only R at CHIP_EN, add a pull-up at GPIO2, add a series inductor 24 nH at XTAL_P, use ESP32-C3F chip and add 1 uF at VDD_SPI. Then schematic should be basically correct, layout should be designed following hardware guidelines and modu...

Re: ESP32-C3 needs external flash chip?

After long awaiting for chips to arrive finally the chips got here two days ago and I managed to replace the MCU on my custom built board. Now my board has ESP32-C3 FH4. The board is now accepting the code, but now I found another problem that my PCB fabricator (inspite of giving the correct part nu...

Re: ESP32-C3 needs external flash chip?

I have shared the complete schematics and how it seems incomplete?
What else would you like me to share? I can share all the required documents. Please let me know so I can provide you the details.
The PCB is assembled by the PCB fabricator, so I'm guessing there won't be problem with that.

Re: ESP32-C3 needs external flash chip?

How would I know if that's the only problem? The hardware is pretty tiny and if I have to change or replace the IC it is going to be a very difficult task. So I need to know if that's the case or is there anything else
