ESP32 not compling to chip

Ben

I followed your last suggestions including including deleting idf git & Python but still failed

However did the whole thing again but used Medelec suggestion to use the default default C:\.espressif

It now compiles fine with no errors at last

However i get a Programming error (copy enclosed)

Believe almost there if you can advise on the likely cause of the final programming issue

Note have tried on 2 separate ESP boards and both fail so don't think its the boards

Could you check the COM port in the Project Settings.
See this post regarding a bug relating to this.

I saw that write up regarding the com port but in my case that was not the issue

I searched the ESP32 web site / forums and the issue appears a number of times

I tried a few fixes but the one that actually worked every time was to very simply hold the boot button down on the board so that will do for the time being


So thanks to all of you for your inputs it was a big struggle compared with PIC or AVR to get going but eventually got there

Thanks, David, and glad it's working now. Hopefully this thread will help others in a similar position.
