FEATHER-ESP8266-FAQ

L'Huzzah cesse de fonctionner!

Q: When I connect stuff to some of the pins, the Huzzah stops working. Whats up with that?

The ESP8266 uses some of the pins as 'boot mode' pins so on boot they must be set to certain values:

• CH_PD should be always pulled high (it will disable the entire module if low)
• RST should be always pulled high (it will disable the entire module if low)
• GPIO 0 sets whether the bootloader is active, it must be pulled HIGH during power up/reset for the user program to run. If its pulled LOW, it will activate the bootloader. The built-in red LED on #0 pulls it up
• GPIO 2 must be pulled high on power up/reset.
• GPIO 15 must be pulled low on power up/reset.

Crash et reset de la carte

Q: My Huzzah board keeps crashing and resetting, whats up with that?

The most common reason for crashes is power failure. Make sure you're powering the Huzzah with a good ~5V power supply, and if you're using a USB-Serial cable, that its plugged into the mainboard of your computer or through a powered hub!

Port série introuvable?

Q: I can't seem to find the Serial port on my computer for the Feather HUZZAH?

Don't forget to install the pilote CP2104 VCP for your computer, they are required!

Erreur de compilation "no such file" sous Mac

Q: So, I’m getting a 'no such file' error compiling for ESP8266 on my Mac. Que faire?

If your error message looks like this:

fork/exec /Users/xxxxxxx/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp8266/tools/xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc/1.20.0-26-gb404fb9-2/bin/xtensa-lx106-elf-g++: no such file or directory Error compiling.

To fix this problem, do this:

1. Open the Boards Manager in the Arduino IDE
2. Uninstall the ESP8266 support
3. go to your ~LIbrary folder (in the Finder, select "Go::Go to folder:, and enter ~Library ). Find the folder Arduino15.
4. In the Arduino15 folder, go into packages, and delete the folder esp8266
5. Go back to the Arduino IDE, and install ESP8266 board support.
6. Now go back to the Finder, and check that you have the xtensa-lx106-elf-g++ file in the path Arduino15/packages/esp8266/tools/xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc/1.20.0-26-gb404fb9-2/bin/xtensa-lx106-elf-g++
7. That's it!

Message debogage bizzare

Q: Whenever I start or reset the ESP8226 there's a bunch of "gibberish" on the Serial console. Que se passe t'il?

This is the ROM debug messages, its transmitted at 74880 baud so you rarely see it in proper 'ascii output' - instead usually it gets corrupted into a bunch of strange characters.

Téléversement difficile avec Arduino IDE

Make sure you're using a good quality USB/Serial cable. Install the official drivers for that cable too! We've also noticed that PL2303-based cables don't work on Macs for some reason. FTDI or CP210x based chipsets work best

Téléversement difficile avec Arduino IDE (suite)

Q: I tried that, but I'm still having difficulties uploading with the Arduino IDE. Que faire?

Sometimes, it helps to switch the board type to "Generic ESP8266 Module". Set the Reset Method to "nodemcu"

See this forum post

Bloqué dans le mode Bootloader

Q: I'm stuck in bootloader mode and can't upload, que puis-je faire?

You say your led is stuck on dim and you get an error trying to upload? And you're sure your serial cable is connected and working correctly? Well, here's a potential fix: Connect the GPIO0 pin to GND through a 220 ohm resistor. Leave it connected while you upload. You may have to try it a couple of times, but it should eventually upload and get the HUZZAH unstuck from bootload mode! You can then remove the resistor connection, and your HUZZAH will be happy ever after!

Thanks to forum user misslevania for the tip!
