Hello
I got a bunch of ESP32-C3 boards to play around with, and so far they’ve been working pretty well. I’ve been using them with HomeAssistant + ESPhome for general tasks.
I got them from aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005007884238751.html
So I decided to try WLED on them, but I’m having some issues. It seems WLED does install properly (from https://install.wled.me) but will not connect to my wifi.
- WLED installation succeeds OK; WLED AP is visible
- Can connect to wled-ap and then look at settings etc (screeshot at the bottom of the post)
I know the home wi-fi is not a problem, because Ive got 3 other WLED instances (but using different esp32 boards) that are all working fine. My wi-fi access point (unifi) shows no connection attempts or failed association attempts at all.
Also interesting is the esp32 chip on the board gets very hot to the touch. I don’t recall this being the case on my otehr esp32 boards.
So far, I have tried a bunch of versions - v0.14, v0.15, v0.16 alpha and all of them have same issue - wled will not connect to my wi-fi.
Any advice on how to get wled connected to my wi-fi with the esp32-c3-mini would be appreciated.
