I am working on building the Adafruit project entitled: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display.
It is found at
https://learn.adafruit.com/wifi-weather ... y/software
I almost have everything done.
I tried uploading the sketch to my Feather Huzzah via Arduino 1.8.16 on my Mac running macOS Big Sur.
Everything was working fine except for this error that appears to be related to a problem with Big Sur.
Pyserial or esptool directories not found next to this upload.py tool. An error occurred while uploading the sketch.
I searched out a solution on the internet and came up with a fix. See attached screenshot I call The Fix.png.
I have no idea how to “Open the file” and make the changes.
Can you tell me how to do that so I can get my Weather Station up and running.
Thank you,
Tom Henry

Re: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
That looks like an Arduino IDE issue with the ESP8266 board support package. Are you able to upload a basic blink example?

Re: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
I tried running the Blink Test and received the same error.
See attached.
Not sure what to try next.

Re: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
Have you ever been able to upload a sketch to this Feather? Not sure if this is a new issue or it's been doing this from the start?

Re: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
I have to admit I haven’t used my Feather Huzzah for a while.
The last time I used it was before I updated my Mac to macosBigSur 11.6.
I even tried a very simple print statement, see attached screenshot.
It doesn’t work, gets the same error.
Check out this website that gives a possible way to fix this which I don’t understand.
https://www.tweaking4all.com/forum/ardu ... r-esp8266/
I am hoping someone at Adafruit has a Mac running macosBigSur and has an Adafruit Feather Huzzah. Maybe they can suggest an easy fix for this.
As always, will appreciate any help from anyone at Adafruit.

Re: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
What version of the ESP8266 BSP are you using? There's an old, but closed, issue for this here:

Re: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
I am not really sure how to find what version of ESP8266, but I did this:
Tools (menu)
Board: "Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266"
Then to Board Manager
Under Board Manager went to ESP8266 (2.7.4)
Then chose Adafruit Feather HUZZAH ESP8266
Does that answer your question?

That looks like it.Under Board Manager went to ESP8266 (2.7.4)
Try updating. The current release version is 3.0.2:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/releases
You can update via Tools->Boards->Boards Manager. Same way you found the version info. There should be an "Update" button there.

ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
Ok, I have updated my Feather HUZZAH board to 3.0.2
I almost have the Weather Station working.
I uploaded the Arduino code for the project entitled: esp8266-weather-station-color
The sketch upload ok with no errors. See attached screenshot.
However, on the TFT Display you see a message that says “Please calibrate touch screen by touch point”. (See attached screenshot)
Ok, I touched one point and then I touched a second point.
Now a new screen coming up saying THINGSPULSE and then Connecting to WiFi Honda. Honda is our ssd.
Then it goes back to the Please calibrate screen again.
How can I fix this so I will finally see the Weather screen.
Thank you,
Tom Henry

Still not working.

Use // to comment in Arduino. # is not a valid comment (those are preprocessor directives).

Re: ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display
That fixed it.
Looks great. See attached screenshot.
Is there an easy way to change the temperature from C to F?
Thanks again,
Tom Henry
