Re: Im new here...
Hi Keys,
Welcome to the forum and congrats on completing the projects, we are always interested to hear about what Flowcode's being used for out in the field.
The ESP32 Devkit V1 uses the ESP32 WROOM module which is a free target. So my advice would be for now change your target to the free ESP32 WROOM module and you will be able to compile using the free license. It's maybe not ideal as the pin out of the target view is going to be off and the COM port autodetect likely won't work but otherwise it should be fairly seamless.
You could also buy the chip packs and leave the Pro until later when you are creating commercial projects/products.
We have also in the past been willing to grant licenses in exchange for things like case studies where you document your project and give us something to shout about.
Hope this helps, I once was a penniless student myself so very happy to help where we can.

Hi Keys,
If your project involves the ESP and it is no a commercial venture, then you probably just need the ESP chip-pack to unlock that device. That is just £90 (approx. $108).
And if this project is part of your course then if might be beneficial for your educational institution to buy an academic license of Flowcode. This unlocks pro features and all chip-packs (except for commercial use) for multiple users, and students can be given a free use-at-home license. Please pass this info on to your tutor and ask them to get in touch with us via our contact page for more details.
I have sent you a PM with more info.
Regards,
Steve.

Wall Receptacle Touch Screen ESP32 design for case study.
Uploaded as attachment the design, I would definitely document my process with Flowcode for display as I go along.

Re: Im new here...
I received his message but I am not authorized to reply...
..probably PM permissions on my user...
He just mentioned what you said about the pin swap.
Are design elements for the GUI / LCD / Pages available on the free version or is that another locked object?
