Arduino Python dependencies?

1

Hi All,

I was doing some ESP32 experiments the other day and I recall changing my Platformio.ini, as advised by the creator of a project.

I think it was the framework-arduinoespressif32-libs @ 5.4.0+sha.2f7dcd862a

shown below.

I got a bit lost and those experiments didn’t go well, so I’ve reverted back to my original project.

However, I’m now getting compiler errors, as below ….

PACKAGES:
 - framework-arduinoespressif32 @ 3.2.0
 - framework-arduinoespressif32-libs @ 5.4.0+sha.2f7dcd862a
 - tool-esptoolpy @ 4.8.9
 - tool-mkfatfs @ 2.0.1
 - tool-mklittlefs @ 3.2.0

My old project compiles OK, but the section above takes several seconds to get through and is becoming annoying now. Any way to get rid of whatever this is ?

Thank you

Does that happen with the latest

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/55.03.31/platform-espressif32.zip

too?

Hi Max,

I’m on an old Win 7 version, will that work ?

I guess I just replace platform = espressif32 ??

Yes, you’d have to replace that line.

No Idea if Windows 7 (I hope at least 64-bit) will work, you have to try it out. You can revert to an older version anytime anyways.

HI Max,

Will not compile now …..

Resolving nodemcu-32s dependencies…
Git not found in PATH, please install Git.
Git is needed for Platform espressif32 to work.

Not seen this before

Git is a documented requirement of PIO Arduino.

Oh dear,

VSCode won’t load any of my projects now, hundreds of compile errors.

Going to start fresh with complete re-install from scratch.

So, in a few hours I’ve gone from getting on pretty well with several working ESP32 projects, to a situation now where Platformio just doesn’t work anymore.

I’ve done a complete re-install of VSCode. Even building projects that worked the other day, I get the following errors …

Any help please ?

Is this using an ancient Python version or what – that should not be happening. On the PlatformIO Core CLI, what’s the output of

pio system info

?

10

Hi Max, can’t find anything in PIO, also did a bit of Google, but still not sure how to get

“pio system info” ??

11

Hi Max, I tried to start a new project … “Project name, NodeMCU-32S, Arduino, my location. Got PIO erro box…

I’m up and running again !

A bit drastic but … I’ve gone from Win 7 to Win 10 on a new hard drive SSD, installed latest VSCode, Platformio, etc.

Might still try my old Win 7 SSD one day to see what happened.

One point, Win 10 doesn’t recognise the ESP32 as a Com port (does show up as a “device” in Device manager), but installing SP2101 drivers sorted that out.

Works OK now

Thank you Max for your time !
