AHT20 and Wippersnapper

Post by michimac »

I'm following the guide for No-Code IoT Humidity and Temperature Sensor with Adafruit.io WipperSnapper guide and have (after reloading the bootloader on the Feather) gotten stuck trying to set up the AHT20. I am using the Adafruit ESP32-S2 Feather - 2 MB PSRAM and STEMMA QT / Qwiic, the feather-esp32-s2-factory-reset-and-bootloader.bin bootloader file, and the wippersnapper.feather_s2_tinyusb.1.0.0-beta.22.uf2. The Feather successfully appears on my account, but I cannot get the sensor to register. No other devices are attached to the Feather and I have a green light on the AHT20.

At issue seems to to be the I2C address of the sensor. Here is the address detected.

Here is the error message.

I do not see anything in the documentation about re-configuring the device I2C address, so I assume that is impossible.

Where do I go from here?

Must have been a bad connection in the JST cable. After beating my head against a wall and reflashing and digging and rechecking everything for several hours, out of desperation I took the JST terminated cable off and checked the pins, flipped the cable end for end, and plugged everything back in. For absolutely no apparent reason, it worked. I must have finally said the right word.
