#45728 Hello all new to the forum and have a question, I am hooking up a ESP12e via a CP2102 an a tp4056 Charging Board to power it, I have the USB connected to it out - connected to grn, GPIO05, GPIO0 and the CP2102 ground, I have the OUT+ connected to VCC, EN on the ESP12e I have the CP2102 tx to the ESP12e RX and the CP2012 RX to the ESP12e TX when I run ESPlorer all I get is

PORT OPEN 9600

Communication with MCU..Got answer! AutoDetect firmware...

Can't autodetect firmware, because proper answer not received.

I can not flash the ESP12e with any software I could find it always has a com failure. I have looked at all trouble shooing sections I have a NodeMCU board that works just find so I know its not the cable. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
