Troubleshooting / FAQ
Use Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Safari and Firefox don't support the Web Serial API this tool needs.
No. The GDO blaQ's ESP32-S3 uses native USB and needs no drivers on Windows, Mac, or Linux.
Make sure you're using a data-quality USB-C cable — some cables are charging-only and don't carry data. Try a different cable or port if the device doesn't appear in the port list.
Windows: look for a COM port (e.g. COM3, COM4).
Mac: look for a port containing "usbserial" or "usbmodem" in its name.
