Croduino NOVA32 with ESP-i2S module programming setup

Customer:

I purchased a Croduino NOVA32 at a maker fair. It uses the ESP-i2S module. What are the correct settings to program it? I tried following the guide on the website without success. The tutorial shows a different ESP type on the board.

For setup, follow this guide: https://e-radionica.com/en/blog/how-to-program-croduino-nova-from-arduino-ide/

For NOVA32, you need a USB to UART adapter (such as one with CP2102) that you can directly plug into the NOVA32. Connect the power, TX, and RX lines.

To put NOVA32 in bootloader mode:

  1. There are two pushbuttons on the board. Press and hold GPIO0, then press and hold RESET. Both are now pressed.
  2. Release RESET.
  3. Release GPIO0.

The board is now in bootloader mode and ready to accept new code via the Upload button in Arduino IDE.
