Hello,
While following Blink for ESP8266 and uploading code per book to ESP8266
the following was out put to terminal

Any help would be useful at this point as I am just relearning Platform io

I found my own issue, I had Serial.begin(9600) and the Monitor-Speed at 115200
the weird thing is that I changed Monitor-Speed to 9600 and the terminal output still did notwork.

I found anther issue with related to using Windows 10…
On the books page 55 it discuss installing ESP32 Filesystem Uploader. The problem is that the Windows 10 file structure does not apply as shown in the book. The actual structure is
C:\Users\user_name\AppData\Local\Arduino15
there is no Arduino 1.8.X, or Tools folder within Arduino15
I guess the question is ” Do I need to upload files to my ESP32 board” if so I need to work out the attached, or get a refund for the book?
Thanks,
DB

Hi.
Related to your first issue, by the error you’re showing, it seems that you’ve used monitorspeed instead of monitor_speed to change the speed of the serial monitor. The correct is monitor_speed. – see page 35.
To upload the files to the board using Arduino IDE, you need to install the plugin as mentioned in the eBook. Or, if you’ll use VS Code instead, you don’t need to install the plugin, because VS Code already provides the necessary tools.
To install the plugin you need to have the Arduino IDE installed via the ZIP file provided on the Arduino website, as shown on page 48. Download the ZIP file for windows. Then, unzip it, and you should have a tools folder. Then, you run Arduino IDE by using the arduino.exe file on the folder.
I hope this is not confusing.
Let me know if you need further help.
Meanwhile, if you feel that the eBook is not for you, you can ask for a refund here: https://randomnerdtutorials.com/returns-and-refunds/

Thanks Sarah,
I really like the books, this is my second. I will likely use the Platform IO IDE most often. Windows 10 hides the Arduino 1.8.X folder . I did download the Arduino IDE from Arduino website. I am looking for a way to fix my current installation of the IDE but may be faced with removing and re-installing which will be hard as I have been using it as for many projects and have many libraries and boards that would require re-installation as well.
Thanks
Dave

Ok.
In that case, follow the instructions provided for VS Code in the eBook.
You can ignore the Arduino instructions.
