tetris11 10 months ago Useful for identifying the myriad of esp32* variants out there extraduder_ire 10 months ago Can it actually tell specific esp boards apart?That'd be a lifesaver. I've often spent longer trying to find the closest sounding board name to what's silkscreened on the bottom of an esp board than I have writing code or programming it. tetris11 10 months ago Upon testing: no, it doesn't even know it's an ESP board, just some "USB Single Serial" device.

therafman 10 months ago Just love it! The list of serial ports found on the board is priceless for me. Thank you!
Liftyee 10 months ago Had to identify an unknown microcontroller earlier today and was thinking, "Surely there's a tool for this?!"HN did not disappoint! This aptly-named utility definitely beats trial and error uploading. Next time I'll give it a try.

This looks like it would be really useful for bulk provisioning of boards.
