Im following some guides to use thonny to load the micropython firmware bin file.
As far as I can tell ive done everything but after finishing, the laptop (windows 10) constantly plays the sound of a device connecting and disconnecting.
At first the esp32 was plugged in and the neopixel went through a series of colours. All seemed good. I put it into bootloader mode, followed the guide to load the bin files, got a 'successful' message at the end but the device never reset itself. I reset and/or unplug and plug back into the USB then constantly get that audio from windows. The neopixel is no longer lit as expected, but also in thonny I get the error that the device is not ready and a lot of
' invalid header: 0xffffffff'
just before that.
If I put it back into bootloader it connects on a com port and seems fine. I havent tried loading any other code, Im not sure what the issue is with it at this point. It doesnt seem right to me. this is where the guides seem to end, success, well done.
At this point Im not experienced enough to know whats going on. Thanks!!
