Hi Jan
Personally I haven't used it. It apparently has a couple of quirks (doesn't everything) say the people I know that do use it, but they like it none the less. Sounds like it could be a "ready made" option for you though.
Keep us updated.
Regards

Made some progress today getting started with the ESP component.
Downloading/installing the ESP toolchain required a number of trials to find the right combination of versions of the ESP IDF and Python that would work together as coded in the install scdript.
Turns out that IDF V5 and Python V3.7 are willing to jive together.
Initial test compilation worked but then failed on the build, see attachment.
I really don't know what I should do now, please advice.

Hi Martin, thanks for chiming in.
I looked at your pointer as well as to Ben's inputs on this, but these appaer a year or more old and I have anyway no more problems with installing and compiling after figuring out which versions to use.
The problem I have is after a succesful compile, the build fails with the meassage:
ERROR: C:\Users\jandi\.espressif\python_env\idf5.0_py3.7_env\Scripts\python.exe doesn't support asyncio. The issue can be worked around by re-running idf.py with the "--no-hints" argument.
Will that be cleared by following the (tricky, by his own words) process described by Ben?
Also, how do I "Go to the project directory and run: idf.py build" ? I'm sure its trivial ...

Hi Jan,
ESP IDF version 5 cannot be used (with Flowcode).
This is causing the problems. The build is not successful.
Please read Martin's link carefully

I did a full re-install with ESP V4.1 and Python V3.7 as suggested by Ben, only to get this:
Code: Select all
Adding ESP-IDF tools to PATH...

'idf.py' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
I did run the install.bat files, one is a Powershell script, the other looks like a regular .bat. No difference.

OK, but that sends me to a procedure by Ben that he himself calls "you may break things" and that appears only to get me back to EDF 4.1.
So I did a complete re-install to 4.1 (with Python 3.7) which only made things worse.
Do I really have to go through all those code lines?

OK, I did follow Ben's procedure, the first batch of commands failed due to:
C:\Users\jandi\Desktop\esp-idf-5\tools>python tools/idf_tools.py uninstall
python: can't open file 'tools/idf_tools.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory

So, uninstalled everything I could find of ESP and Python.
Now, which versions should I install? 4.1 and 3.7?

Yes, I think those are the recommend versions mentioned in the Matrix ESP installation pdf guide. Those instructions need to be followed to the letter.
Hope that helps
