I have just ruined two of my ESP IL-G-WROOM-02.
So I suggest if you are using a FTDI 3.3 USB Cable DOUBLE CHECK the voltage. (Pin 3 red wire)
I have had this cable for some time and it has always worked before. For whatever reason, the voltage is now 5 VOLTS!
NO IT IS NOT a china fake cable. It is a legitimate FTDI cable.
