esp32-c3 qt py identifying itself as S3

Post by shurik179 »

I recently bought an ESP32-C3 QT Py (https://www.adafruit.com/product/5405).

Strangely enough when I connect it, in Arduino IDE it shows as S3:

how can it be?
I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.19, with Espressif's ESP32 Arduino Core 2.0.6

You need to select the Adafruit Qt Py ESP32-C3.

this is normal! the bootloader has the same VID/PID, so the IDE gets confused on which it is.
