I am yet another wandering in the woods trying to get a hardware debugging setup. After a few hour of videos, checking and recheckng connections, trying "uploader" as both esp-prog and as esp devkit and everyting else I can think of i get the errors shown here.  I have tried to track them down, but still not getting anywhere. any help would be greatly appreciated.  please
