Hello there I have made a custom ESP8266 board with which I want to operate WS2812 LEDs with WLED. I have received and assembled the PCBs and wanted to upload the blink sketch for testing with the Arduino IDE. However, I get an error message in the console that no connection could be established. Do I have an error in my schematic? Any help is gratefully appreciated.
At least one: the antenna from the ESP is perfectly shielded. Check the design guides for an ESP PCB design.

Instead you must do it stepwise: 1. apply supply voltage 2. measure the supply voltages on the devices supply pins 3. bridge rx and tx at the CH340 and check it with a terminal programm 4. .... 5. .. > Any help is gratefully appreciated. The pins in good readable schematic symbols are not sorted in the package order. Instead they represent the function of the device: inputs right, outputs left, supply top and bottom. Simply have a look at other good readable schematics. Compared to them yours looks a little bit like the scribbling of an kindergarten child. J.

Thank you, for your recommendations. Currently I am not having an error connecting to it wirelessly, I habe trouble uploading a sketch, I get the feedback that it failed to establish a connection. Also, when it tries to connect, the builtin LED blinks for 10ms or so and then goes dark for another 2s. And yes, I know the design isn't really good, since it is my first ever ESP32 custom PCB _:) I am just trying to get this to work, so I can install WLED to it, then I can improve my design and do a 2.

You need a 100µF capacitor near to VCC/GND pins of the ESP12 module. GPIO15 needs a pull-down resistor. U3 must be connected to GPI0, not GPIO10. The pin row on the short side (opposite of the antenna) must NOT be connected, because they are used for the flash memory. See http://stefanfrings.de/esp8266/index.html Notice the "translate" link in the upper right corner.

Thank you very much for providing that Link, it helped me a lot! I was copying the D1 mini schematic, but it seems like, I have made some mistakes... I have now corrected it according to your instructions. (Find the photo in the attachment) Are there any other flaws?

Yes that is on purpose. To that board you can connect a 5V ARGB as well as up to a 24V RGBW LED Strip (not at the same time of course).
