I manage to upload using platformIO. Cool. Do you think is better to install a linux VM to use the esp32? If you are doing C/C++ then, yeah, I think a *NIX environment is better assuming you know *NIX . If you are doing Arduino IDE work then I think Windows is slightly better. I think the differenc...

Try again with something like Blink. I think if an Arduino sketch seg faults you get that result and the core dump or stack trace is not piped to the terminal. At least one of the sketches I was trying had that behavior, and it was because something was crashing in the sketch.

The issue is timing related to when the publish command is issued and when the boot button is pressed. I haven't nailed down exactly when things needs to be pressed, but I have had okay luck if I press the boot button while Arduino IDE is in the process of compiling the sketch. Its not 100%, but it ...

Spoke too early. I went out for dinner and upon my return and the dev board is back to the same error about timing out waiting for a packet header. I tried the above tricks with no luck this time.

I shut down the Ubuntu VM and tried directly from the Win10 host and got the same error. However, I shut down Putty and all Arduino IDE instances then cycled the power on the board. I started the IDE and did not start Putty and things worked. I think Putty was causing a lock on the COM port that was...

I am trying to get the Arduino IDE setup for a Adafruit ESP32 Dev Board and can't get the sketch to upload to the chip. I am just trying to use the Blink example sketch. I have held down the Boot button followed by pressing the EN button before/after clicking the upload button in the IDE. I have ver...

Doh!

Thanks.

I have to preface this post saying the bug could be on my side. My C skills are questionable on a good day. :) I am working on a driver for the Adafruit TSL2561 lux sensor. I think I am close to having it working except I keep running into issues with the whole chip crashing after about 5 minutes of...

both the I2C slave addresses used by each two sensor type and also the specific I2C data that is read/written to control and read the sensors are different. So the code will require substantial re-writing to work with this sensor. That's the nudge I was looking for. :) I was looking for validation ...

I am trying to use the Adafruit TSL2561 light sensor to try out the I2C example code and am not getting a change in the sensor output. I think this is because of a difference in how this sensor works over the one used in the demo. However, this is approaching the limit of knowledge. Would someone gi...
