I received this ESP32 board from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08D5ZD528?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_9QN255SB744ARW5H280K&th=1
I have update the Arduino IDE’s preferences according to the Smart Home text’s instructions and I can see many ESP boards listed in the IDE’s board manager, however, I can’t seem to find the appropriate match for what I received from Amazon. I’ve tried a number of different selections but I can’t seem to get any to work with this board. Should I consider returning what I received and work backwards from the list in the IDE (i.e. pick one from the IDE’s list and find that model somewhere to purchase)?
This is the kind of error I get when trying to compile/upload the WiFiScan sketch:
Sketch uses 648433 bytes (49%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1310720 bytes.
Global variables use 42832 bytes (13%) of dynamic memory, leaving 284848 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 327680 bytes.

Connecting…..
A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32 not ESP32-S3. Wrong –chip argument?
Failed uploading: uploading error: exit status 2

Hi.
That board seems familiar to the ones we use.
Which board are you selecting?
Select the DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1 board. Does it work?
Regards,
Sara

Thank you, that worked. I had selected a number of different ESP32 boards listed in the IDE but there are so many and had not made my way down the list as far as the DOIT option.

Great!
I’m glad it solved the problem.
I’ll mark this issue as resolved. If you need further help, you just need to open a new question in our forum.
