Befuddled newbie that's been at the for hours here.
I have this board "Geekcreit® ESP32 Development Board WiFi+Bluetooth Ultra Low Power Consumption Dual Cores ESP-32 ESP-32S Board" It has ESP-WROOM-32 chip and is "Dev C" board from what i see.
And i made every attempt to create the development environ from tutorials. Wow there's a lot of stuff!
Have the little weather station code in Arduino IDE and it won't compile. Either by upload, or compile and check. But I don't see that board in the boards set up. Or it's there and I don't recognize it as such.
Question boils down to how do I add my board to boards list?
And on the same tools menu is Programmer, not sure what programmer is the right one. So two questions.
Many thanks for any attention this might get.
Regards,
Brent
Hi. First the one in:
but there were others, I'm trying to retrace steps.
I'll report back!
I don't think this is the issue, at least not yet, cos I can't even compile yet. But in device mangler my USB port doesn't ever say Arduino, but it does go from grayed unplugged to fully resolved when plugged in.
This was the last tutorial I went through.

attached error log, which is incomprehensible to me.

Your Windows Device Manager won't show an Arduino.
It looks like your module is using CP210x chip for communication to your PC. That is good.

Looks like you didn't install a library for BME280 sensor.
I did install it. Not sure if I needed to tell something about it. I believe i used Git GUI to install it. That and JSON. Attached screen shot of explorer showing folder.
Thank you for your input!
You need to install it the way Arduino IDE requires it installed.
I have no experience with Git GUI.
I did find how to add the libraries. Still no compile. It feels like adding the board to the board choices is important.
Thanks again.
log after library.txt (15.3 KB)
fatal error: Adafruit_Sensor.h: No such file or directory
Install the Adafruit Unified Sensor library.
gdsports! I've gotten much further after the unified sensor library. Thank you!
Now I think I need to go through some programming tutorials. As much as i hoped to just download and compile in a knowledge vacuum I don't think that is practical. A learning experience must include some actual learning, darn it.
I'm going to attach the latest error log and would be happy to get feedback.
Thank you,
Brent
