Geekworm easy kit esp32-c1: 1) not recogized in Arduino IDE 2) very long compiling time

Q&A Forum › Geekworm easy kit esp32-c1: 1) not recogized in Arduino IDE 2) very long compiling time

Marcel Bosman asked 7 years ago

Hello, I have 2 easy kit esp32-c1 boards. They are not recognized in the arduino ide V1.8.5:

BN: Unknown board
VID: 1A86
PID: 7523
SN: Upload any sketch to obtain it
Running the serial monitor I could find out that the following settings should be used:
DIO, 40 Mhz, 4MB (32MB) and 115200. I was able to compile the sketch Wifiscan using the board ‘ESP32 DEv Module”, but compiling took about 30 minutes!! It runs but is this normal?
Which board definition is better?

I tried another sketch SimpleWifiServer.ino but it’s compiling now also for 20 minutes. What’s wrong?

Edit: compiling took 30 minutes. It runs OK, but still this long compiling time.

Part 2) solved: I had to disable the F-Secure virus protection. Compiling takes now a couple of minutes

Any ideas for part 1) which arduino IDE board to use?

Hi Marcel, I’m glad the first problem was solved and sorry for taking so long to get back to you.
Have you tried to use the first option in the boards tab “ESP32 Dev Module”?
Does that work with your board?
