Hi Stefan.
If it was me seeing that message, I would uninstall ESP-IDF and python.
Make sure both esp-idf & esp-idf-tools directories are deleted and start from fresh following the guide
here.
It has not let me down to date.
I would also stick to Python 3.7

Hi Martin
Yes I installed Python 3.7 again and selected it by the setup. And now it's working again.
Sooner or later we will have to change Python version and i suspect the problem is just in the toolchain check
The effort is small and makes it possible to programme the ESP32 C3 and ESP32 S3 with Flowcode. Who knows, maybe BLE.... will follow

Hi Stefan
As per this post
viewtopic.php?p=14187#p14187
I'm now running idf v5.1.2 and python 3.11 on a W10 machine. Other than compiling a basic flasher to hex I've not had a chance to do much with it.
Regards

Hi Lain
Yes idf v5.1.2 and Python 3.11 worked for the new ESP32 S3 and ESP32 C3.
But I had problems with the "old" ESP32. I could no longer configure Bluetooth. So I had to use Python 3.7 again.
regards
Stefan

Hi
Stefan
I've not had a chance to do anything regarding "radio" using v5.1 etc but hope to this week using older and newer ESP's. I'll update once done.
Regards

Hi to All
I am still having problems with the changeover to ESP -IDF 5.12.
The problems are not the new ESP32 C3 or S3 versions but the "old" ESP32
One of the problems, I cannot open the menu to setup Bluetooth.

It is also not clear to me whether I should work now with Python 3.12 or 3.7.

There are known compatibility issues between Python 3.11 and 3.12, perhaps you can try 3.11?

Hi Stefan.
Try deleting the current build files which are located in a folder next to your Flowcode project file with the same name.
Or you could just rename the folder.
