I have recently shifted from using the Arduino IDE to using Platformio in VS Code. Its nice, but I am having significant trouble with the serial monitor. I have an esp32 cam board and am connecting through a separate micro USB to serial board. Whenever I try to establish a serial connection to the…

Everything is working fine now! It seemed to either be a problem with the esp board or the usb to serial board. The platformio monitor works now! It previously did not display anything, but now it works as expected. After everything started working, I did try changing the dtr and rts values, but t…

So I tried it again with a different esp32 cam board, and I believe it may be an issue with psram? The board I was originally using appears to not have psram (it is averaging about half of the fps that it should in the caamerawebserver arduino example), though it should have psram. Maybe a faulty bo…

Damn. Okay, so this is the serial monitor extension for VSCode by microsoft. I assume I downloaded it at some point and forgot about it. When you open the platformio serial monitor, it gives you a prompt in the terminal. With the issue I was having, it did not output anything in the terminal, and th…

Does it display correctly now in PlatformIO’s serial monitor the same as it does in the Arduino IDE? If not, have you tried all 4 combinations of dtr and rts as referenced in the linked post?
