As I said in the title, it is my first time using an esp32. I tried to use arduino IDE with no succes and now I try here hoping to find better results. I bought my esp card on amazon, it’s labeled as a ESP32-WROOM-32D. It not detected in devices. Th eonlly thing telling me it’s alive is that the LED lights up when it’s pluged.
Thanks to everyone in advance for helping me.

is detected in new serial for example COM4 nothing more required.

Turns out i’m even dumber than I thought, it was just the cable that didn’t work. But now I’m even more confused, the ESP32 shows up as an “Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge”. What does that even mean?

Thats the Serial to USB converter chip on the board. The ESP32 does not have natIve USB as the later versions have (ESP-S3, ESP-C3, ESP32-C6 etc).
