ESP8266 WiFi Weather Station with Color TFT Display

Post by pvsmith2 »

Help a newbie out
this is my first Arduino project, decided to try and learn a little at a time and started with this https://learn.adafruit.com/wifi-weather ... y/software guide.
i took me a few tries but i think i got everything installed correctly. however after uploading the weather station code, and powering on, i get "connecting to (ssid) wifi" and then it flashes "formatting done" then to touch screen calibration. i run though the calibration and it starts back at "connecting to wifi" and so on. in a loop.
i tried flashing the whole thing back to stock using esp8266 flasher, and then reuploading.
i tried plugging the board into the battery instead of my computers USB.
I'm just so new at this I'm not sure how to troubleshoot, or see an error log.
any help would be appreciated.
I do see on my router that the board does actually connect to the wifi.
hardware:
Adafruit Feather HUZZAH with ESP8266
Adafruit 2.4" TFT Feather Wing
Lithium Ion Battery - 3.7v 2000mAh

I opened an issue for this here:

but I can not recreate it.
