Wire an Espressif esp-prog debugger to a ESP-WROOM-32 DEV KIT MODULE, and setup debugging on Platformio.
Prerequisites:
- esp-prog debugger.
- ESP-WROOM-32 DEV KIT MODULE (or ESP-WROOM-32 chip).
- 6-12 Dupont leads, male to female.
esp-prog IDC to ESP-WROOM-32 and DEV KIT MODULE wiring
A typical setup involves using the esp-prog JTAG interface for uploading and debugging.
To monitor program output during runtime, you can either use the built-in FTDI serial of the esp-prog, or save on extra wiring by utilising the onboard FTDI serial of the ESP-WROOM-32 Dev Kit Module. Source selection is automated.
If you choose the latter option, you can safely connect the VDD 3V3 line of the esp-prog to the USB-powered Dev Kit Module, as the esp-prog includes reverse current protection circuitry.

Add wiring tags to DuPont leads
Print this file esp-prog_wiring_flags.txt, cut out wiring tags, and Sellotape them to your DuPont leads.

Full rebuild and upload produces lengthy wait, then blue ‘working’ indicator stops and the debugger control pallet appears.
