New UniHiker K10 no IP (wifi or usb)
Douglas.Hult 2025-04-03 04:00:20 1629 Views2 Replies I have a new UniHiker K10. The screen shows the expected startup screen with the 4 modes working fine but I cannot get I connected to my desktop.
I am using the supplied USB cable and plugging it in to a Linux system (Fedora 41). It shows up as a serial device (Bus 001 Device 004: ID 303a:1001 Espressif USB JTAG/serial debug unit). If I open up a serial connection I get a repeated error msg “W (325402) AFE_SR: ERROR! afe_feed_aec_init_false, rb_out slow!!!”. I also tried Thonny but the shell screen in Thonny shows this same error message.
The documentation seems to indicate that the USB connection should show up as an IP device (10.1.2.3) over this usb connection but no IP connection is made to the UniHiker. The documentation also seems to indicate that the K10 should also start an Wifi AP but I am not seeing any new Wifi network showing up. Does the IP connection work with K10's or is this only an M10 capability?
Anyone know why my serial connection is getting the error message and why I am not getting an IP connection?

Possibly you looked at the guided tutorials for the UNIHIKER M10.
The K10 is an ESP32 based MCU dev board. so it will appear as a COM port on your PC when connected via USB.
The default is the ArduinoC firmware, you need to flash micropython firmware first if you want to program with Thonny.

Yeez_B Thank you for your reply. The links you provided got me on the right track and I have Micropython loaded.
