NodeMCU-32s – ESP32 trying to flash / install

Hi,

I bought a complete package from circuitsetup inkl. https://circuitsetup.us/product/nodemcu-32s-esp32-esp-wroom-32-development-board/?v=7516fd43adaa
trying to set up everything there was no wifi I could connect to and reach the setup page out of the box.
I am trying to flash the software now but running into multiple issues… the USB-UART connection works. Tried using emonupload under Ubuntu but running into following issue:
It connects to the board, erases the flash and flashes new software, however I then get an error “Unexpected chip id in image. Expected 0 but value was 3584. Is this image for a different chip model?”
After the flash the board continuously throws the same message on the serial console.

I tried to setup Arduino IDE to compile and flash, but constantly run into compile errors now it’s missing the StreamSpy.h library.

At this point I am stuck not being able to get emonESP running. I did open a ticket with circuit setup they are not answering though.

Any hints?

Cheers
