thonny fails to communicate with board

Post by dan_leake »

With adafruit-circuitpython-adafruit_qtpy_esp32c3-en_US-7.3.3.bin installed Thonny does not communicate with QT Py ESP32-C3.
With esp32c3-usb-20220618-v1.19.1.bin installed Thonny works and runs network demo. It fails if "import board" is added, but I suspect that is because it is not QT PY specific.

Since the ESP32-C3 does not have native USB support I would expect some extra steps with setting up Thonny or Mu to work.

Are you trying to use the Web Workflow? There is a documented path to get things going that way:

Another option would be to currently use MicroPython with the Qt Py ESP32-C3 which also has a guide:
