Hello, everyone.
Please help if anyone has encountered and knows how to solve this problem.
I recently bought an ESP32-S3 N16R8 board.
I wanted to make a beautiful LED matrix for myself.
I went to the wled website and installed the firmware.
Everything went well, but when I finished, there was no window where I could
connect to WIFI. The terminal window did not appear.
I tried different firmware versions, but it didn’t work.
The WLED-AP network does not appear, and the project cannot be launched.
I read on the forums that the problem is in the bootloader and it needs to be updated.
You need Python and ESP Tool for this.
I have installed Python. However, ESP Tool does not have an .exe executable file
and it needs to be installed somehow using the Python program.
I have everything, including Python and ESP Tool.
But nothing is installed with the commands given on the official website,
in the section: how to install and flash.
Maybe I’m a beginner and don’t know what to do.
I’m not a programmer, and I’m not good at code.
Describe in detail how to make this board run the wled terminal and work.
Use this installer, manually selecting a proper bin for your board.
Thank you.
I’ve already got the board up and running.
The problem was with the WLED firmware itself.
I installed the WLED_0.16.0-alpha_ESP32-S3_16MB_opi.bin firmware
and the board worked.
The developers have fixed the problem, at least for this board.
