I recently purchased a Jackpot controller and am using my own clone ESP32-WROOM-32 board on it.
I’m powering the Jackpot with a 200W 24V PSU.
When I connect a USB-C cable to the ESP32 I can connect to the web interface just fine, but when it’s only being powered by the Jackpot, I can’t connect to it.
Am I missing something? Does the ESP32 need its own 5V PSU?
yes…it looks like you have the wrong ESP32 board there…there are 30 pin and 38 pin varients, along with devkit c and devkit M. You want the one with this pinout.
Interestingly, it looks like Ryans jackpot board has pins 9 and 10 transposed. I wonder if that is just on the silkscreen or are the actual i/o pins reversed???
It seems that out of a stack of about 10 ESP32s I bought for home automation, exactly one of them is different from the others and has the correction pinout
