Feather Huzzah 8266 does not show in my boards

Post by CorlettT »

Hi, I followed the instructions to install Wippersnapper, the board is connecting to wifi, but not getting registered with IO.
Serial output below, please let me know what I can do:

Thanks!

Did you try a hard reset as the Troubleshooting section suggests? Unplug the USB cord and plug it back in.

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-fea ... aq-3120273
I don't see my board on Adafruit IO, it is stuck "Registering with Adafruit IO"

Try hard-resetting your board by unplugging it from USB power and plugging it back in.
Can you run this through the Exception Decoder?
Open a sketch and build it.
Upload the sketch and monitor the Serial port for Exceptions
When you get an Exception, open Tools > ESP Exception Decoder menu item. This will open a new window.
Paste the stack trace into the window's top pane and the result will show in the bottom.
Every time you enter new address or stack trace, the results will refresh

I'm running Arduino IDE 2.0.3, not seeing ESP Exception Decoder option in the Tools menu. Do I need to enable something?

Okay, I think I see what is going on. You have not installed the necessary Arduino ESP8266 board package.

https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-huz ... ge-2571073

Install the ESP8266 Board Package
Enter http://arduino.esp8266.com/stable/packa ... index.json into Additional Board Manager URLs field in the Arduino v1.6.4+ preferences.

Hi Mikey, Thanks for the fast reply. Looks like something truly spooky is going on. Check out these screenshots, I have the ESP8266 package installed, and it lets me choose the correct board, but the ESP tools are not showing up in the Tools menu:

Any thoughts on what could be up?

Also:
- Hard resetting by unplugging/replugging has no effect.
- I tried reinstalling Wippersnapper and changing the wifi to use my home system, rather than the one at work- I got exactly the same results.

Thanks-

Installed Arduino IDE 2.0.3 on a different laptop, installed ESP8266 board definitions, still no ESP tools.

There are at least two issues here:

1) If you want to use WipperSnapper then Arduino will be of no value. WipperSnapper has no compatibility with the Ardiuno IDE.

2) If you want to use the Arduino IDE with this Board Manager package back down the last stable Legacy release 1.8.19 (scroll down):

I want to use Wippersnapper, if I can get it to work. I am using Arduino for the serial monitor, to see the errors Wippersnapper is reporting. Any ideas what these Wippersnapper errors mean, or how to correct the situation?

You can use the earlier release of the Arduino IDE 1.8.19 to process the stack trace being generated. That should help with getting going with Wippersnapper.

I installed the legacy Arduino, and the ESP exception tool, which is a separate plugin now. It doesn't seem to want to process code directly from the upper window of a sketch- it pops up a file browser window demanding an .ELF file to open. Could you just cut/paste the stack info from my post into the tool on your end?

I've contacted the WipperSnapper engineer @brentru about ELF files access for stack decoding.

How did you install WipperSnapper on the ESP8266?

I used the firmware tool in Chrome, as found here: https://io.adafruit.com/CorlettT/wippersnapper/new/

More than a week since the last reply, so I'm going to uninstall WipperSnapper so I can use this board with Arduino. Maybe I'll give this another try next year.

Would you be able to try https://adafruit.github.io/WipperSnappe ... er-esp8266, this will install the latest version of WipperSnapper (Beta 58) on your board. Please double-check the adafruit io credentials you enter in the uploader website, prior to uploading to your board.

If it does not work - and you're still having issues - please let me know so I can file a bug on our repository and try to reproduce it from my end. I have another pending ESP8266 issue and can work on addressing both at the same time.
