Note: The newly updated C3U shares the same features as the C3, but the difference is that the M5Stamp C3U without the USB download chip and the program download method is different((The C3U uses the ESP32-C3's built-in USB Serial for program download)). If you are looking for a more affordable project, you can add this to your shopping list!
Program Download/Notes
Enter the program download mode operation:
1. Long press the center button (G9) of STAMP C3U under power failure conditions.
2. Connect to the computer, after the port is successfully identified, program burning.
USB CDC enabled:
By default, USB CDC is not enabled, the serial port output started by C3U will be output through UART0, if you need to output through USB, please use IDE to make it USB CDC before downloading the program option enabled. (Arduino users can enable it through Tools->USB CDC on Boot-Enabled, IDF users please refer to ESP IDF official documentation.)
