Okie dokie, thanks for that, I’ll try a different FTDI FT232RL board (if I can find one) As to the set up, I have various ESP32’s from HELTEK to some WROOM modules mounted on there own coms boards ala [Amazon.co.uk] they are then wired as either red or green circle (not exactly high speed data friendly)
The projects compile and run fine,

I don’t know how to try different initialization methods however so not sure what to do there, I did notice the debugger does not attempt to upload the debug enabled code after building it, so not sure if that is causing any issues.
I have an FT2232H mini module arriving tomorrow so I will have a way to debug hopefully with that, but getting the FT232R chip to work would be extremely useful for users on lower budgets. Thanks again.
