• Fix ESP32 upload errors: "Failed to connect" and "Wrong boot mode detected"procedure · unverified · Upload failures mean the chip didn't enter download mode. Check the port, cable, drivers and power, enter download mode manually with BOOT (GPIO0) + EN, and lower the baud rate. Native-USB chips can drop off the bus in sleep or after reconfiguring USB pins.
• Shipping an RP2040/RP2350 product with USB: do you need your own USB product ID?procedure · unverified · Raspberry Pi sub-licenses USB product IDs under its vendor ID 0x2E8A for RP-series products. You usually only need your own PID if Windows must load a vendor-specific driver; with standard class drivers (CDC, HID) you can identify devices by their USB strings instead.
• Zigbee coordinator on a USB 3 port or next to an SSD: expect a weak, unstable networkwarning · unverified · USB 3 ports, SSDs, HDMI ports and Wi-Fi routers interfere with 2.4 GHz Zigbee. Put the coordinator on a USB extension cable, use a USB 2 port, and keep it away from these sources.
