what [ESP420] give as output ? When using UART0 (same as CH340 ) be sure usb is disconnected

yes USB is disconnected
what baud rate Marlin is set in your configuration.h of Marlin ?
I don't build my own printer firmware, but if this is the one they officially shipped https://github.com/ANYCUBIC-3D/Kobra2/blob/Kobra2_V3.0.6/source/Marlin/Configuration.h
its #define BAUDRATE 115200
It's the same rate I use to connect via USB Pronterface
well if you cannot be sure about baudrate it is hard to know if that is the root cause or not but if it can use it on Pronterface - should be ok
I suggest you to find a serial/usb adapter (something like https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-CP2102-Converter-Adapter-Downloader/dp/B00LODGRV8/ref=sr_1_1_ssp) and check if your Printer board wiring is correct and can communicate with your pc using serial terminal
also such device can be also used on esp32 to test the esp32 uart pins also
Ok. I'll source one locally. Will a six pin one do the job?
yes, you only need 3.3v gnd txt rxt pins, this will help you to debug the communications
Ok, I got the adapter and setup the terminal. What is the expected behavior? When connected to the printer (UART for the LCD screen). I get some output:
nope that is not the Marlin output - do you have the same when you connect your printer and the serial terminal by the USB port ?
No. When connected via USB I can send M503 and get the config.
That probably means I need to find another place to hook in to the board until i get a Marlin response for "M503"?
well you found the root cause - the usb adapter do same as the CH340 so output should be same - it means the usb adapter is not connecting to rx/tx - to test use M105 or M114 or M115
Well, I have to do some poking around :) You can close the ticket, I'll probably add a comment with my findings.
Thank you for your time and patience!
Good luck then ^_^
Everything is now running. I used pins 2 and 3 of the CH340.
cool feel free to add your board to the list with instruction and images: https://esp3d.io/esp3d/v3.x/hardware/system_boards/index.html

I have a problem with communication between ESP3D and the printer. UI claims that command are sent but data is not received back. ("ESP3D says: command forwarded")
Can you help me with debugging this issue?
Thank you!
