Hi.
Install the latest version of Arduino IDE 2 as recommended in the eBook.
 
That issue seems to be something broken with your current installation.
 
Let me know if you can get it to compile with Arduino IDE 2.

Sara

Hi again.

Try the following suggestions:

1) When compiling, select a different board model. Like ESP32 Wroom.

2) If it doesn’t work, go to this path: C:\Users\remi\AppData\ and delete the AppData folder. Try to compile again.
3) if it doesn’t work, try to install the latest Python version and add it to PATH during the installation: https://www.python.org/
4) Try uninstalling Arduino IDE and deleting all related files, and install the IDE again.

If none of this works, it might be a compatibility issue withe most recent core of the ESP32 and windows 7. This, I believe can be solved if you use a different board model support by older versions of the ESP32 core (but, I’m not 100% sure about this).

Let me know your results.

Regards,
Sara
