Connecting to esp32 controller with putty

I have flashed the esp32 without any problems but when I connect using putty this is what I get.

The esp32 I have was bought from Amazon https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B071P98VTG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

I have used the latest bin file. The errors keep repeating so the code appears to be running.

Nobody else having problems flashing?
I have tried compiling and uploading the program but get same problem

I have complied and upload some of my own code and that works

It looks like there is a problem communicating with the TCA9534. Have you tested with the board test app?

Putting 2 and 2 together with your reply, I just realised I got to build the controller board and install the esp on it for it to run. Be back later

Well I built the controller and now it’s working. I have a flashing green light and GUI says waiting for modules to reply. Thanks.
