Thanks Martin, I just tried as you suggest but I still get the same issue. I'll try to work through some of the items discussed earlier in that thread later today. J.

Hi, I've uninstalled all previous versions and re downloaded everything and spent time too work closly to the instructions given, It still will not compile and is throwing the same errors regarding Python. "Python requirements are not satisfied" On checking further I think the ESP toolchain it is us...

Hi, Thanks. Stuggling to get any combination to work to be honest...Achieved different levels of success with various methods. No matter how closesly I follow the install guides from either ESP or FC there seems to be various steps that just dont reflect what I get during the install process. After ...

Hi,

Looking at options again, this time the ESP32 familiy. :) I see the supported devices list. https://www.flowcode.co.uk/embedded/targets/index.php?ret=1#ChipTable and the toolchain guide, https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/images/a/a4/ESP_Installation_Instructions.pdf Are there any trips/version etc to ...

Regards the PICO tool chain...yeah it does seem crazy..I think I pulled about 8GB and got had over by a full VisStudio enforced upgrade. I may try the compact PICO ToolChain suggested by PI on my event laptop and see how I go. :) I understand the VS2019 is what has worked for you guys but I'm strugg...

Hi Ben & Martin. I appreciate the honest feedback. I'm an Engineer and flowcode user ( Not a proper coder of any sort!) so I'm keen to stay with products that are keenly supported and developed by the Matrix team. I'm sure the PICO works great once the tool chain is sorted. I guess I chose that rout...

Hi, So...found this on the Pi website. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-pico-windows-installer/ This seems to be the current Pi approach to getting PICO to work on windows machines. I ran this and had to do a manual install of Visual Studio Code via the link address they provided. Visua...

Hi Martin, Yeah that is the guide. When I went to my VS installer ( It was previously installed for other programming projects) the only option i was given required me to update before I could add the C++ features and thus its now on community version 2022. I've just tried the VS links provided in t...

from the "Developer Command Prompt for VS2022" I ran "nmake/?" and it responded correctly with the versio and options. So it must be installed.
From a windows command window the same command returns an error as command not found.
Does some sort of path need to be added?
