ATOM Echo uses FTDI USB serial, not CH342 #29912

Feedback

The instructions for getting esphome installed on an ATOM Echo tell you to install the CH342 driver: - In the dialog, select the CH342 driver, install it, then **Try again**.

This is incorrect, the ATOM Echo uses FTDI USB serial, as per M5Stack's documentation: http://docs.m5stack.com/en/quick_start/atom_echo/arduino

Worked at the first try after using the drivers that @plett recommended after hours of trying with the CH342 drivers.

Just had the same experience trying the CH342 drivers, but luckily found this post fairly quickly while troubleshooting. The documentation should be changed to reflect that the ATOM Echo uses FTDI serial.
