Not sure it was a bad batch, anyway I ordered new ESP32-C3 ICs and will try to solder them on my PCBs. It will be a good exercise. In the meantime I will also try with external SPI memory, just for the fun .
What I have learned, like many, is that Ali Express will only provide you with what you pay for. Conclusion : never select the cheapest product ;-)
Thanks!
@Jean-Philippe_Rey thanks for the heads-up. Did you have one? That's rubbish - I'm not sure the board even has the SPI pins brought out, so the board itself is basically useless. I assume that was probably just a bad batch that got sent out :(
