I'm having this issue too. I have my 2.4 and 5g wifi using the same SSID. Is there a workaround for this? I'd rather not muck up all of my other IoT devices by changing that.
Edited: I added a guest network only on 2.4. After adding the new credentials and flashed new firmware. Got to the 'reset your device' stage and when reseting, either via reset button or via unplugging and replugging, the device never shows up in my devices list.
@marnibrewster do you see the LED light up when you added the guest network for 2.4GHz? if left connected to the computer, does it continuously connect/disconnect?
@marnibrewster @sanramaraj Are you both having this issue with the Qt Py ESP32-C3? Does this happen with other boards (if you have them)? Did it occur on previous Wippersnapper releases, or just the latest?
@brentru I started using it a month ago, I was never successful with WipperSnapper installation from the website. The most recent attempt was 2 days ago.
Unfortunately, I have only the Qt Py ESP32-C3 to play with.
I just received my c3 a day ago, so this is my first attempt with it.
I can upload code via Arduino just fine. I hit snags when trying to upload circuit python code though. Can provide more details after work today.
I was also unable to upload main.py
via Thonny after installing circuitpython (attempted this to see if I could run the wifi test there as well, to rule out arduino/circuitpython issues). Got invalid header: 0xffffffff
.
@sanramaraj The LEDs stopped working when I first attempted to install wippersnapper.
@brentru are there manual install instructions somewhere?
@marnibrewster I had the same experience, LED stopped working after the first attempt to install WipperSnapper
I'm getting an error when trying to install the urequests
package in Thonny now:
"This doesn't look like MicroPython/CircuitPython package. Are you sure you want to install it?"
I just received my second c3 and attempted the wippersnapper install on it. LEDs working when I initially plugged it in. Held boot, pressed reset, let go of boot. Was able to find the port on the wippersnapper install page. Installation seemingly succeeded and I was told to reset. The LED was green! I reset the c3 with the reset button. Nothing happened (device didn't show up in my device list). I tried resetting by unplugging and replugging. Nothing.
It was using: wippersnapper.qtpy_esp32c3.littlefs.1.0.0-beta.45.combined.bin
Quite frustrating!
@brentru I can try re-installing wippersnapper on my feather huzzah esp8266 tonight and will get back to you
@marnibrewster I guess there is something messed up with the WipperSnapper for ESP32-C3
@sanramaraj I should add that while I didn't hear the noises you heard, I did notice something weird after a seemingly successful install of wippersnapper. If I reset the board, go back to the wippersnapper install page, and click 'connect', the c3's port flashes on and then off repeatedly.
@marnibrewster @sanramaraj Ok, thank you both for the info. This was previously an issue preventing us from adding C3 in the first place, it has been fixed in the latest BSP (https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/6862#issuecomment-1175926313) and there are similar issues in other libraries.
@marnibrewster There are manual installation instructions on this page: https://learn.adafruit.com/how-to-add-a-new-board-to-wippersnapper/build-wippersnapper
I've added this to the top of my stack for next week and will look at it after the USA holiday.
@brentru Thank you!
I tried the wippersnapper manual install and was hitting littlefs issues 🤔 I was able to get my project working (using the qt py with a scd4x temp/humidity/co2 sensor, pushing data to adafruit io, and then using the data in homebridge to make it available on my homekit) using adafruitio mqtt and the sensirion library for now.
Let me know if there's anything I can contribute / test next week.
@brentru I was unable to update my huzzah esp8266 to the latest beta (same experience: the upload succeeded, I was told to reset my device, but the same version was on it and it wouldn't connect to IO). After removing it as a device in IO, I can no longer upload wippersnapper via the web tool.
Edited: I was able to follow the steps for adding a new device that you linked to, in order to flash the .bin to my huzzah. It succeeded and now my board is showing up in IO. It looks like it's v1.0.0-beta.45 fwiw.
Line 298 of build_platform.py
was throwing errors as the paths did not match. One included /Documents/...
and one did not. Once I added /Documents
to the front of that check, the command worked (this could also be an issue with my paths). I also uninstalled Arduino IDE, and removed the Arduino15 folder which seemed to help (maybe some cache issues?)
@brentru , do you have an estimate of when this bug may be resolved?
@sanramaraj I do not have an estimate, it's the next item on my list after https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Wippersnapper_Arduino/issues/321 (and associated refactoring around i2c, updating documentation) is done today.
@marnibrewster @sanramaraj This issue should be resolved as of #326. We patched a line of code causing ESPTool to merge the binary for the ESP32 platform as a target, instead of the ESP32C3 platform. This should be resolved going forwards.
I tested this with my QT Py ESP32C3 and did not get the boot loop when using the web uploader.
Please re-open this issue if you are still experiencing the C3 boot-looping.
It works!!
I can't wait to try it out tonight, thank you so much for the fast resolution on this!
Describe the bug WipperSnapper loaded to Qt Py ESP32-C3 from Adafruit.io website (below link) was successful but the device goes into a continuous boot loop evident from continuous connect/disconnect sound from the computer.

Console log attached.
Arduino board Qt Py ESP32-C3
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior After installing WipperSnapper successfully, expect the LED to show some indication that it booted up properly and observe the ESP32-C3 on the Devices page of Adafruit.io
Which components are connected to your device Which components are set up on the WipperSnapper device page? None
