Wipper Drive not showing on QTPY ESP32-S2

Post by Lhurgoyf »

So I tried to install WipperSnapper on Adafruit QTPY ESP32-S2
Double-clicked Reset -> QTPYS2BOOT appears in Windows
Moved wippersnapper.qtpy_esp32s2.1.0.0-beta.53.uf2 onto the drive -> Drive reboots
Now the LED is solid yellow but I cant see the Wipper drive

What can I do?

Have you hard reset the board (remove the USB power)?

Did you add the device to Adafruit IO?

I added the device from Adafruit IO (that's where I got the uf2 file from).
I reinserted the USB cable and nothing happened, still solid yellow. I plugged it into another USB Port, there I get a warning message "USB device not recognised". I get this in every port I tried except the one I started with, which happens to be a special bios flash port.

Tried it now on a different PC, and there it works.

Ah, thank you for sharing your solution. Was there a difference between the two PCs? Models or OS version that was relevant?

One was an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X Desktop PC with all ports USB 3.2, the other one was an Intel 8th gen laptop, with I think USB 3.0 ports, both Windows 10
