Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello:
I am new to this forum so please bear with me.
I program both ESP8266 and ESP 32 devices on the Ardiuino IDE ver. 1.8.19. When I installed the ESP8266FS upload plugin ver 0.5.0 everything was OK for the ESP8266 device. Then I installed the ESP32 upload plugin ver 1.0 it did not appera in the tools menu on the ESP8266 was their. When I tried to use it for a ESP32 device it said the SPIFF was not suported.
Ah, what my setup -
Win7,
Intel X64 processor,
Arduino tools location Arduino\sketchbook\tools\ESP***** (folders)
Yes, I did chance the board type to match the device.
Yes, I did restart the IDE after any changes.
Any help would be Greatly Appreciate, even if this is the wrong place to ask this question. THANK

Hi @jimmym21.

Is this the one you are attempting to use?

Yes, It's the only one I know of.

I just tried installing it in Arduino IDE 1.8.19 and it worked fine.

In my experience, this type of problem always ends up to be caused by incorrect installation of the plugin.

Please follow these instructions carefully:

  1. Delete your previous attempt at installing the plugin.
  2. Start the Arduino IDE.
  3. Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
  4. Take note of the path shown in the "Sketchbook location" field.
  5. Click the Cancel button.
  6. Select File > Quit from the Arduino IDE menus.
  7. If one does not exist already, use your file browser to create a subfolder named tools under the sketchbook folder path you saw in the "Sketchbook location" preference.
  8. Open the release page for the latest release of the plugin:
    https://github.com/me-no-dev/arduino-esp32fs-plugin/releases/latest
  9. From the "Assets" section of that page, click on the download link that is formatted something like "ESP32FS-1.0.zip".
    :warning: DO NOT use the "Source code (zip)" or "Source code (tar.gz)" download links.
  10. Unzip the downloaded file.
  11. Move the unzipped ESP32FS folder to the tools subfolder you created in the sketchbook folder.

The folder structure must look exactly like this:

<sketchbook location>
`-- tools
    `-- ESP32FS
        `-- tool
            `-- esp32fs.jar

Now start the Arduino IDE. You should now see a Tools > ESP32 Sketch Data Upload menu item.

I'd swear I did this a thousand time, but this time it worked.

BIG THANKS
