What OS are you on for your desktop? Is it MacOS Ventura?

Just to confirm. Did you follow the Arduino specific portion necessary for setup on the MKR WiFi 1010.

Can you post what is being output on the serial console from the Arduino IDE when WipperSnapper is failing to get on the network?

Do you have an LED indicator coming up on your board?
WipperSnapper RGB Status Light

Most WipperSnapper-capable boards have a single NeoPixel or DotStar RGB LED on the board. During the boot process, the LED is used to signal the hardware's status.

Here's what the colors and blinking means:

YELLOW Blinking - There is a new secrets.json file on the WIPPER drive. Edit this file to contain your credentials and RESET the device for the changes to take effect.
PINK - Connecting to Network.
If the device reboots while displaying this color, there's an issue connecting to the wireless network you specified in secrets.json.
BLUE - Connecting to Adafruit.io MQTT Broker
If the device reboots while displaying this color, please verify your Adafruit.io in the secrets.json file.
GREEN Solid - Connected to Network and Adafruit IO.
YELLOW Solid - Registering and configuring your hardware with WipperSnapper.
GREEN Blinking (3x) - Bootup complete, you can proceed to use your device with the WipperSnapper website.

When I upload the sketch to the Arduino, on the little black console at the bottom of the Arduino IDE it shows some errors but it still loads. After that, it says "CPU Reset" and on the board an orange LED flashes, then it goes off and a steady green LED remains. On the serial console "Attempting to connect to WiFi" appears and from there the Arduino begins to disconnect and reconnect.

I think I solved something because now it connects to the wifi but in the serial monitor it says "Attempting to connect to Adafruit IO" but nothing appears on the adafruit online dashboard...

Two things:

1) Make sure the Arduino Wippersnapper library you are using is up to date.

2) Make sure you AIO username and key are correct.

Code: Select all

// Visit io.adafruit.com if you need to create an account,
// or if you need your Adafruit IO key.
#define IO_USERNAME "YOUR_AIO_USERNAME"
#define IO_KEY "YOUR_AIO_KEY"

I updated the library to the latest version and now in the serial monitor it stays still at "attempting to connect to wifi"

Have you used this MKR WiFi 1010 with your access point before (not with WipperSnapper)?

Is this a 2.4 GHz network (it cannot be 5 GHz).

Are you able to login to the access point to see a log file of the connection attempt?

before using the arduino with wippersnapper I had already used it to test it with the arduino iot cloud. My network is on both 2.4ghz and 5ghz in band steering but the arduino connected on 2.4. I am not getting logs from my router dashboard.

Okay, let’s have you fill out a bug report so @brentru can take a look. The only related one I see was for the Nano 33 IoT.
