Sorry, my mistake.

Hi.
Is this issue solved? Or do you need any help?

Hi Sara,
Thanks for your diligent follow up.
A: er, Yes and No !!
I’m getting close. I switched to BLE from esp-now.
But it wasn’t until I found this trick for the esp32 editing [boards.txt] that I was able to get going again.
 

"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.default=Default"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.default.build.partitions=default"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.minimal=Minimal (2MB FLASH)"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.minimal.build.partitions=minimal"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.no_ota=No OTA (Large APP)"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.no_ota.build.partitions=no_ota"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.no_ota.upload.maximum_size=2097152"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.min_spiffs=Minimal SPIFFS (Large APPS with OTA)"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.min_spiffs.build.partitions=min_spiffs"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.min_spiffs.upload.maximum_size=1966080"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.fatflash=16M Fat"
"esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.fatflash.build.partitions=ffat"

From Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5VoXNloOwZE – just scroll down to “more of” his comments

Which, as you probably know, adds options to Ardo’ Tools menu. Because I kept getting RAM issues.
I went for “min_spiffs=Minimal SPIFFS (Large APPS with OTA)”.

Ok.
Thanks for the follow-up.
If you’re using Bluetooth, there is a library that occupies much less space than the library that comes by default. Many of our readers have used it with great results. I haven’t tried it yet.
But here’s the link: https://github.com/h2zero/NimBLE-Arduino

Thanks for the heads-up link Sara.
I have downloaded and will do a test run – later today maybe…
Chris

OK.
Then, tell us how it went.
Regards,
Sara
