I have platformIO installed under VSC, however when I open a project, usually using the pioarduino platform, it asks me if I want to install the pioarduino extension to VSC. So, my question is “should I install both extensions?”
I can build projects with the PIOArduino platform with the regular PlatformIO core and PlatformIO VSCode extension just fine. I don’t think its required, it just gives you a different set of features. You should definitely not install both at the same time.

I’m probably wrong here, it happens. You could have both installed if you create a profile for each in VSCode, then activate one profile and install what you need there. Ditto the other profile.
Profiles are supposed to stop extensions interfering with each other so might give you the best of both worlds.
Obviously, you would be best to uninstall from the default profile first.
Alternatively, just create a profile for the package you use least frequently leaving the other as default and switch profile when you want to use the other.

My issue…
Hi Norm, thank you for your suggestion, sorry it has taken a while to respond. Sadly I have still not got the project working in that, for some reason, it does not display its AP point. It is coded in espidf which is well above my level of coding ability.
Oh well, I tried. I’m not at all familiar with espidf (yet) so it’s unlikely I’m of much help to you. Good luck getting sorted.
Cheers,
Norm.
Thank you to those who offered help. Max pointed me at some settings I had missed. However, the root cause of the problem was a faulty WiFi section of the YD ESP32-23 2022 v1.3 boards (ESP32-S3 N16R8), two separate boards had the same issue.
