ESP32 TFT S2 Reverse - Compatibility with Motor Featherwing

Post by vadaparty »

Hi Adafruit:

We're trying to connect ESP32 TFT S2 Reverse with the Motor Featherwing. W/o wing, the feather works fine with the example code. Once we put the featherwing, it goes into the "UF2" format. We brought it back to the normal format and retried several times.

Is there a problem with this configuration?

Any guidance will be highly appreciated.

When you say the Feather goes into UF2 format what do you see as a mounted drive when the Motor FeatherWing is attached?

Can you show a photo of your setup with any soldering you have done?

Does htis happen when nothing else is connected except the usb cable, ESP32-S2 TFT and Motor Featherwing (eg. no motors or other power supplies).

Hi here are the details

1. We were able to make it work nicely with the demo code.

2. Then a simple 'helloworld' code uploaded and we get the UF2 format (see the picture, please)

3. Even when no other feather (motor feather or anything else) is connected.

4. Again, we can go back with factory reset steps.

It sounds as though something is off with your custom “helloworld” code if that is when the UF2 behavior occurs.

Can you post the code to the forum?

In the case where the demo code ran correctly what program was that? Was the Motor FeatherWing connected in both scenarios (custom helloworld and demo code).

Hi @mikeysklar - thank you for the nudge.

Re-looked and there was something off.

Fixed and it works fine. My bad.

Thanks for the push/support.

Unrelated to the above, but still related to "Reverse TFT": Is there any way this can be mounted on a doubler along with a motor feather? I can put one on top of the other... no issues ... and flip it..and it would be fine. But doubler next to one another - not seem to be possible - given "Reverse" does not easily make it possible. Correct?

Kumar.
