WLED on esp32-c3-mini

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.

hi @LD9K please try the old Version as of V14
and as you see in your image it workes at 2FPS in crease this value to 16FPS
then it might be working very well
