Arduino IDE Feather 8266 Huzzah problem

Post by Blueshark »

I have a problem using the Arduino IDE with the Feather 8266 Huzzah board...

The Arduino IDE does compile and upload the code to the Feather board, when its the simple BLINK code, but when I try to upload the code in this tutorial ....
https://learn.adafruit.com/home-automat ... troduction

it just hangs... no connection is established... times out....

when I was using the older Arduino IDE it mentioned a problem with this header file
#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
said there was an error with it...

I updated the Arduino IDE to the current IDE version 1.8.15, but now I get No error, the IDE just hangs not making a connection to the Feather board...

When I uninstalled the old IDE I thought everything was gone, but Windows10 remembered the old settings, like boards, and libraries...

This is not a problem on my other computer, just this one, I would like to still fix the problem with this computer's Arduino IDE

Using Windows 10 version 21H1 (newest)
USB cable is also data cable (No problem with it use it with other Arduino's)

Can someone steer me in the right direction to fix this issue?

It sounds like there might be a problem in that machine's board support packages or tools.

Try deleting the Arduino15 folder and reinstalling the board support packages from scratch.

I found the problem.....

the problem was I was leaving the Feather ESP8266 on the Feather Triple Stacker.... somehow when other devices are in it with the ESP8266 it will make a problem....

Live and Learn?!?!
