Hey there! I'm working on an exam project that needs an ESP32 as the host device linked to a VTAP100 RFID/NFC reader. It should send data like user IDs when a card is tapped. But according to the VTAP docs, using it as a HID isn't possible with the ESP32 since it needs an active input field. The setup looks like this: ESP32-S3 connected to PC via micro USB UART for programming, then to VTAP100 through micro USB OTG. In normal mode the VTAP doesn’t get power, but plugging it into a wall outlet makes it light up—yet the ESP32 still gets no input. Connecting it to the PC for power works, but the ESP receives input from the VTAP, which isn’t ideal because the whole system should run off a power supply without any external connection. I’ve checked host libraries, configurations, cables, and power setups, but I’m stuck. Any tips or documentation you can share would be super helpful!
