Metro ESP-S2 do not connect properly

Post by Yvallee »

When connecting my Metro ESP-S2 widows add it inside "other devices" in Device manager but said that it do not find a driver. Then, in the "port" section, nothing show. The leds on the Metro shine nicely.

So, inside VsCode/PlatformIO, I cannot connect to it because it do not show as a new port.
I tried on a second PC and got the same problem inside widowns.

The Metro do not have a USB to serial IC, so I suppose I do not need to install an extra driver... but...

I have Windows 10 Pro 64 bits and do not have problem with my ESP8266 or Aduino Uno board. Anybody have an idea?

Thanks

See if you can get into ROM bootloader mode and get the same Device Manager entries as shown here:

Yes! I got into the boot loader mode and I can connectec to it via https://adafruit.github.io/Adafruit_WebSerial_ESPTool/

Now, where can I find the appropriate .bin file?
(TinyUF2 is definitely not the good things)

If you don't want to use the UF2 bootloader, then it depends on what you want to do.

How do you plan on using the Metro?

Yes I want to use de Metro ESP32-S2, but with VsCode and Platform IO in C++
I just need that it show up as a com port to program it via VsCode.
I do not want to use the Metro as a USB key nor with Python.

So.. where I can find the minimal .bin bootloader?

I solve it!
* I start in bootloader mode
* upload with Platform IO an ESP32-S2 empty project (wich fail by saying it cannot reset the module itself)
* I manually reset
* And now I see it as a COM9
* I retry uploading the same projet in normal mode and it worked great.
