Hi,have just loaded flowcode 10. I have a basic comms license for ESP32 IN VERSION 9 FLOWCODE. When I try to compile it reports that I don't have a valid license ! Deg1 <Email removed by admin>

Hi there are no components requiring a license.
Unlike Flowcode V9, with v10 all components are free.
Could it be the target device you are using is what is requiring the license?
All the free microcontrollers are listed here
You can also see what microcontrollers are free, from within Flowocde.
Either New project, then under Choose a Target. expand the Free targets.
Or if you have a project loaded, the same Choose a Target option is via Build > Project Options

Can you post your project file with the .fcfx extension?
I will see if you need a chip pack before you can compile.

esp tool chain

Post by grout1 »

I have spent many hours trying to get to the point of being able to compile esp.
I have followed all advice about installing tool chain to no avail. each time the error is the same, not found at whichever location expresiff is actually located. In each case export.bat seems to be the first file required it can't find. I am about to give up, I have purchased one of the comms options,and it does seem a shame.

We are not fully in control of the 3rd party toolchain install for the ESP devices, but we have managed to help others with similar issues get up and running with that toolchain. You need to follow the instructions we provide precisely, including exact versions of the various components of the install. Let us know if you get any errors during this process (exact error messages and/or screenshots will help) so we know at what part the installer seems to be failing.

One other thing that may help is to enable short filename (8.3) support in your OS before you install the toolchain as this may affect how the toolchain finds files. And I seem to remember I needed to perform an OS restart at the end of the installation process before compilation worked correctly.
