Full Changelog: NacelleDemo_v1.4.0...NacelleDemo_v1.4.1

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:

  1. Install Arduino IDE (I recommend >v2.0) from
    https://www.arduino.cc/en/software/ if you don't have it.
  2. 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)
  3. Load the attached sketch or the latest version from GitHub: https://github.com/CalPolyWindPower/2026-Controls_Nacelle/blob/main/demos/NacelleDemo/
  4. 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".
  5. Under Tools, set "USB CDC On Boot" to "Enabled"
  6. [Recommended] Under Tools, set "Core Debug Level" to "Info" or lower
  7. Select Upload
