After compiling, if you have an issue and have not already done so, can you post your .fcfx project file, please?
Also posting your .c file can help.

One of those Fridays again.
The previous versions of my ESP32 Flowcode programs no longer compile.
I did an upgrade to the latest version of FC9 some time ago, that worked on some PIC applications without issues, but no longer on the ESP32 programs.
I got the same problem as I had earlier, which I fixed by completely reinstalling the ESP32 toolchain.
Did that again, no joy.
Question: in the user guide to install the toolchain, version 4.0 of the ESP-IDF is shown in the selection screen.
But currently there are later version from which you can choose, 4.1, 4.2, up to 5.0.
Should I re-install with V4.0?

Code: Select all

Done! You can now compile ESP-IDF projects.
Go to the project directory and run:

  idf.py build

Please use idf.py only in an ESP-IDF shell environment.

At the top: Setting IDF_PATH: C:\Users\jandi\esp-idf - which is correct, that's where I installed stuff.

But then later, it complains it can find stuff in C:\esp-idf-tools\tools\cmake\3.13.4\bin
Why does it look there?? The location is correctly set to C:\Users\jandi\....

I will uninstall all and re-install to C:\esp_idf etc. See if that works.

Its a mess. Uninstalled and deleted everything related.
Re-installed from scratch to C:\esp-idf and C:\esp-idf-tools

I give up. It's Saturday.

Did a clean install on another computer where that toolchain was never installed before. Same problem.
The installation guide says to install version 4.0, but at this time the only selections available are 4.2 and up to 5.0.
Could it be that the install script assumes 4.0 is used and gets mixed up when you install another version, which is different/incompatible?

Hi Jan,

Might be worth making the jump to v5?

Hi Martin!

Dare to brake in

I have the ESP-IDF installed, what is the benefit to upgrade to IDF V.5, please ?

Br Jorgen

If v4.1 is installed and working - then probably none....

If you want to use newer variants of the esp32 (S2 or C3 for example) - then you might need to change.
I'd messed up my install (I will try things - that don't always (ever?) go to plan) - so reinstalled using the latest version (having seen Ben's posts). It seems to need a few changes to my code

Ok thanks for reply Martin. no I stick to the version I have now and it works on my esp32dev. don't risk anything
