Hi.
What is the version of your ESP32 boards installation?
Go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager, search for ESP32, and check the version.
Regards,
Sara

You need to update.

To do that, you need to use a new URL in the Preferences (File > Preferences > Aditional Board Manager URLs).
This is the new URL:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json

Then, go to Tools > Board > Boards Manager > Search for ESP32. You should be able to update to version 2.0.x

Restart your Arduino IDE and try to compile the code again.
Let me know if this solves the issue.

Sara

Hi, Sara! Thank you so much for helping me!
I had the updated preference already installed but, it only showed the ESP32 board upgrade to 1.0.6.
Unfortunately, I also had the old reference installed! When I removed the old reference, it let me update the ESP32 to version 2.0.7….which worked! Thank you!
