Spencer: OSError: [Errno 19] ENODEV on any program

[dubek1]

Hi.

We built Spencer GPT and trying the first program (#1 simple timer). We added the blocks according to the video and click Run. Then we see the following output in the the log:

>>> 
MPY: soft reboot
MicroPython v1.20.0-609-g6b213a2e7 on 2023-10-06; CircuitMess ESP32 Devices with ESP32
Type "help()" for more information.

OSError: [Errno 19] ENODEV
>>>

Even an empty program like the one below gives the same result:

from Spencer import *

begin()

How can we start programming Spencer?

Thanks!

Hello,

thank you for sending the photos.

Please try fixing your soldering points. This is the image that can help you with that:

Also, please check the following soldering tutorials:

1. Adafruit’s video tutorial featuring Collin Cunningham
2. Adafruit’s standard soldering tutorial
3. Sparkfun’s video soldering tutorial
4. Sparkfun’s standard soldering tutorial

I highlighted the soldering points that need fixing.

If you don’t manage to get your device to work, please contact me again and I’ll help you further.

-Monika

I have this same problem but my solder joints look good,

It only happens sometimes when I am testing my robot
