When running the circuit as illustrated above my ESP32 will not power on for some reason. Pins A1-A8 are measured to be hi. When the circuit powered on without OE connected ESP32 powers on just fine. Then connecting OE to 3V3 some arbitrary time later things work as intended. 800kHz signal looks good on both sides. So I tried tying OE to an IO pin that I pull hi at startup and the same issue occurs. Disconnecting the IO pin allows the ESP32 to power up and connecting that pin to OE the entire circuit runs as intended again. I tried adding a pull down resistor (52kohm) parallel with the IO pin but same issue. What am I doing wrong? I want the dual directionality to be able to use the circuit with input from sensors or switches later.
