circuitPython on ESP32-S3 w/ M1 Mac/Ventura

Post by RocketScientist »

I have several ESP32-S3 QtPy boards I want to use with circuitPython. Development machine is a MacBook M1 Air MacOS Venture 13.0.1.

I can't seem to get the "double-click" to work with either of two boards, and using Chrome/ESPSerial I attempt to connect and get into this state:

esptool.hs v0.1-dev
Serial port WebSerial VendorID 0x239a ProductID 0x8119
Connecting...

With a white LED on the board.

Forever.

Help?

There may be no UF2 bootloader installed on the board. You need to hold down the BOOT button and press RESET to get it into native bootloader mode. Try the factory reset here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-qt- ... tory-reset

Note that Ventura has other problems: https://blog.adafruit.com/2022/10/31/up ... uitpython/
