I2C Test

Issues with I2C:

  1. I2C PWR is run on a separate bus for low-power functionality, so you must enable I2C_PWR pin, which is GPIO 6! (Pin 10 on the ESP Module)
  2. I2C default pins are 22 and 21, which do not work for our board. We are using pins 3 & 4 for SDA/SCL respectively.

Boot Up and Flash Test

Had some issues with Serial Monitor not working, and the device not being recognized, it was confusing to get down, but I solved those issues.

  1. ERR light turns on during operation

    Apparently this is normal, ERR LED is connected to GPIO21, which is the Debug pin on the ESP32-S3. This means that it pulls low when it's in debug, and defaults high in regular mode (although this can be overridden in code [TESTED]).
