The Lilygo ESP32 S2 board can run CircuitPython. In this video I am going to show you how to install CircuitPython on the inexpensive and very popular Lilygo ESP32 S2 board. The procedure is not difficult if you know what you have to do, and it wonโt take us more than 10 minutes. Letโs start.

As you can see the procedure requires a lot of steps. The first step is to install the CH340 driver to your computer. If you look closely at the board, you can see that the board uses a USB to Serial chip, the CH340 chip. We need to use this chip to change the bootloader of the board, but in order to use it we need to install a driver to our computer. Many operating systems automatically recognize this chip when we plug the device in our computer.
Before doing so, there is another important thing to consider. The board has 2 groups of dip switches. We are interested in this one.
The first and 3d switch must be turned on and the 2nd and 4th must be turned off, just like this. With the dip switches positioned like this we enable the CH340 chip of the board. Now we plug in the board in our computer and we go to the device manager. If your computer recognizes the board, you are ready to move to the next step. If not, you need to install the CH340 chip drivers before going to the next step and then check that the device appears in the device manager. I will provide links to the drivers in the video description
