The DFRobot FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C5 has one USB C port. The baud rate is set to to 115,200 below and uses the internal USB peripheral, not a separate chip. Some compatible serial monitors include the Arduino IDE https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/, VSCode "Serial" extension from Microsoft https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode.vscode-serial-monitor (May cause hang the controller at times), or PuTTY.
To re-flash:
- Install Arduino IDE (I recommend >v2.0) from
https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/ if you don't have it. - Go to the boards manager in the left sidebar and install "esp32" by Espressif Systems.
A. If it's missing, go to the following board URL under File > Preferences > Settings >Additional Board Manager URLS: `https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json (See also: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/installing.html) - Load the attached sketch or the latest version from GitHub: https://github.com/CalPolyWindPower/2026-Controls_Nacelle/blob/main/demos/NacelleDemo/
- Set the board to "ESP32C5 Dev Module". There may be multiple COM / serial ports to choose from. If one is labeled "ESP32 Family Device", use that and switch it to "ESP32C5 Dev Module".
- Under Tools, set "USB CDC On Boot" to "Enabled"
- [Recommended] Under Tools, set "Core Debug Level" to "Info" or lower
- Select Upload
- Open a serial terminal
A. In Arduino IDE, got Tools > Serial Monitor and switch to 115200 baud

ActuatorManualDemo_v1.0.0
I have prepared an updated actuator demo for the new nacelle controller and Arduino IDE, to allow for manual position control. I'm planning to leave the nacelle controller flashed, so the only requirement to interface with it will a USB C cable and serial console at 115,000 baud. I recommend the one included with the Arduino IDE, this VSCode extension, or PuTTY.
To re-flash:
- Install Arduino IDE (I recommend >v2.0) from arduino.cc if you don't have it.
- Go to the boards manager in the left sidebar and install "esp32" by Espressif Systems.
a. If it's missing, add the following board URL under File > Preferences > Settings > Additional Board Manager URLS:https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json - Load the attached sketch (zip folder due to custom libraries) or the latest version from GitHub (versioned released, source, repo:
CalPolyWindPower/2026-Controls_Nacelle). - Set the board to "ESP32C5 Dev Module". There may be multiple COM / serial ports to choose from. If one is labeled "ESP32 Family Device", use that and switch it to "ESP32C5 Dev Module".
- Under Tools, set "USB CDC On Boot" to "Enabled"
- [Optional] Under Tools, set "Core Debug Level" to "Info"
- Select Upload
