Hi Martin, Ah..thanks I should have spotted that. changed and run.. The first line looks upset but the rest seemed to run smoothly. the python items seems to be 'satisfied' but I still get the same errors from within FC, regardsing unsatisfied Python parameters? Hmm. the FC global path looks correct...

Thanks guys. The suggested script, save to a .py file and run from a standard windows command prompt, it runs and closes to fast to observe anything. under 0.5sec. an FC build returns. my guess is that the embedded python 3.8 is not upto date...which is odd as it is the version that installed with a...

I've tried another hour of pain...no progress. is there an example supplied with ESP where I can do a test build to prove if that is installed correctly?
That said...I have no idea what I'm doing in the command line. All of the online examples and forums assume you have a knowledge of command line.

Thanks Martin, I just tried as you suggest but I still get the same issue. I'll try to work through some of the items discussed earlier in that thread later today. J.

"Python requirements are not satisfied" On checking further I think the ESP toolchain it is us...

Hi, Thanks. Stuggling to get any combination to work to be honest...Achieved different levels of success with various methods.

Looking at options again, this time the ESP32 familiy. :) I see the supported devices list. https://www.flowcode.co.uk/embedded/targets/index.php?ret=1#ChipTable and the toolchain guide, https://www.flowcode.co.uk/wiki/images/a/a4/ESP_Installation_Instructions.pdf Are there any trips/version etc to ...

Regards the PICO tool chain...yeah it does seem crazy..I think I pulled about 8GB and got had over by a full VisStudio enforced upgrade. I may try the compact PICO ToolChain suggested by PI on my event laptop and see how I go. :) I understand the VS2019 is what has worked for you guys but I'm strugg...

Hi Ben & Martin. I appreciate the honest feedback. I'm an Engineer and flowcode user ( Not a proper coder of any sort!) so I'm keen to stay with products that are keenly supported and developed by the Matrix team. I'm sure the PICO works great once the tool chain is sorted. I guess I chose that rout...
