can't connect the A16 board to anything - alpenglowwhaleoctave - 08-21-2025

i don't get anything on the router, i tried arp -a, no new ip address.
- i tried 2 different routers
- tried replacing the ethernet cable
- tried replacing the power supply
- tried connecting with usb - no new COM port in device manager (tried another USB cable and port)
- NO wifi AP checked on pc and phone
the red power led is ON, the orange ethernet led is ON, the green led is flashing.
board: REV 1.6
is the board damaged?

you need download KCS v2 firmware by usb-c cable firstly, new board no firmware inside of ESP32.
here is KCS v2 online guide: https://www.kincony.com/esp32-kcsv2-firmware.html

I am trying to load the KCS board. There is no ESP32 list to upload via USB. I am unable to upload to KC868A16 with RF433. I removed the RF as required and it does not load code.    

הצלחתי להתחבר מנסה להקליט rf315m לא מצליח rf433 כן מצליח
