esp32-c3-devkitC-02
I got some esp32-c3-devkitC-02
from the hardware schematic i seethe RGB LED is SK68XXMINI-HS
I used adafruit neopixel library to drive this RGB LED. it's one wire or i2c or something. Pin 8
talk to it via I2C
damn trying to get the boot flashed.
this is what I'm going on now:

I'm having a lot of trouble with esp32-c3-mini-1
I can use arduino to flash stuff, but the script never starts.
Serial monitor show 0x7 and 0x10 on repeating cycle.
I think it needs series of pin setting on boot to work.

- Solution
The first thing I did was get esp-idf and try it's hellow world. that worked.
then I googled somemore and someone said: set flash mode to DIO, not QIO.
Sure enough I was set to QIO , I set to DIO and suddenly stuff starts wirking.
note I'm betting that I did not choose the correct board in arduino ide board manager. I was faffing about with "ESP32 C3" , "ESP32 S3 mini", "ESP32 C3 Dev module".
the vendor's docs for esp-idf mention that with dev board "menuconfig" should have "disable multi cpu", this indicate that in arduino not using the "Dev Module" option might have some material difference.
Anywho, I can get the neo pixel hello world in arduino to work now, so I'm happy ( recall GPIO 8 is the address for the neo pixel lirbary to use for this board , same as the previous ESP32 that I used.

so which pins are for I2C SDA/SCL ?
Lots of conflicting docs.
I forced the issue like this:
void setup() {
Wire.setPins(sda_pin, scl_pin);
Wire.begin();
...
}
want to make the on board neopixel work? use the neopixel library and set pin to 8.
Here is a web server that exposes BME 280 sensors in a prometheus friendly way:
- uses neopixel to communicate wifi communication status
- uses serial for diag debug output.

gotchas:
set I2C wires to pin 0 and pin1 , means pin 9 and 10 on the board
#define I2C_SDA 0
#define I2C_SCL 1
...
void setup()
{
Wire.setPins(I2C_SDA, I2C_SCL);
Wire.begin();
...
}
Scripts
- /esp32_i2c_scanner - it's possible to talk i2c over several pairs. In fact it's not clear if the default works. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/tutorials/io_mux.html#usage-examples
