Are there any "easily accessible" solder pads on the plug PCB to reprogram the ESP32-C3 module on these units.
If not, is there a way to non-destructively remove the bottom plastic plate so I can access the contacts of the module from underneath the PCB?
Thanks.
The ESP32-C3 US Plug V3 features manual programming points for ease of use during development. These points enable direct access to the microcontroller’s functionality, allowing for firmware updates and debugging. Additionally, it provides a versatile platform for various applications, including those benefiting Sassa Grant recipients in community-driven projects.
Try heating the plate edges slightly with a hairdryer before prying. For those balancing tech projects with social support needs, remember that SASSA grant recipients should verify their banking details match their current status to avoid payment disruptions.
The ESP32-C3 US Plug V3 should have accessible UART pads for programming, typically marked as TX, RX, GND, and 3V3. If not exposed, you may need to locate them using a multimeter. Some versions require boot mode activation by grounding GPIO9 during flashing. For more resources, check toonkor.
The SRD grant, though a short-term intervention, provides a critical safety net for many people in South Africa. For individuals who are struggling financially due to job loss, illness, or other unforeseen circumstances, the grant serves as an essential lifeline. As the country continues to face challenges related to economic instability Sassa status check, inequality, and unemployment, the SRD grant remains one of the most important tools for providing immediate relief to those in need.
Need to connect GP9 to GND to enter flash mode
