I got two bitaxeMax v2 boards soldered together today. I messed up and forgot to order a ESP-Prog and Tag Connect cable, so I can't really do anything yet.
It does power up, and no smoke comes out, so that's good!


Quote for embeds & great job!
Is this required for programming the ESP?
https://espressif-docs.readthedocs-hosted.com/projects/espressif-esp-dev-kits/en/latest/other/esp-prog/user_guide.htmlMaybe a USB connector (and if required, other components) could be added to the Bitaxe in the future so it's programmable directly. I know that some microcontrollers require you to pull some pins to some logic level to get into a programming mode.
