Heltec Wireless Stick

I’m trying to upload my Data files to the flash memory but I’m getting the following error:

A fatal error occurred: File .pio\build\heltec_wireless_stick\spiffs.bin (length 1638400) at offset 6750208 will not fit in 4194304 bytes of flash. Use --flash-size argument, or change flashing address.

hi,

could you try enter the bootloader mode?

press the UESR key -> get power to USB -> release the USER key.

Hi JasonXu,

I was able to upload the sketch and update sketch data to SPIFFS with Arduino IDE 1.8.14

But with platform Io, I spent more than 8 hours trying to upload the sketch and sketch data with no lock, I can upload the sketch but is not running , and I wisent able to upload the data to SPIFFS

I am using ENV: heltec_wireless_stick

I am receiving the following 2 logs

In Platform IO there in no wireless stick light in board list so I used wireless stick, !!

i am rceiving this error

any recomandation

hi,

greeting from heltec!

We have not yet made PIO support for ESP32.

What you use is developed by our customer.

#6

Hi Jason,

what do you recommand me to use, in projects insted of Ardurino IDE, what Heltec team use?

#7

We did arduino IDE adaptation work for ESP3

#8

Hi Jason,

I used Heltec Wireless Stick Instead of Heltec Wireless Stick Light and it works with Platform IO

I was able to upload the sketch and upload the sketch data to SPIFFS

But with Wireless Stick Light, I was able to get the sketch upload but not the sketch data, and upload filesystem image OTA

Is there anything I can do to clear this error,

I created a platform IO .ini file attached for Heltec Wireless Stick Light, however I still have issue to upload the filesystem image to SPIFFs

This is the error
