HI, I have a new board ESP32-S3 N16R8 and I am trying to find the board in Board Manager. Have added: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_dev_index.json to "Preferences" but can only find ESP32S3 Dev Module. It works with Blink program but only with Ma…

Thanks for the info. Very helpful. So with with a ESP32-S3 n16r8 I would select Flash Size 16MB and the biggest size I can see (as I need Spiffs for storage) would be "8M with spiffs (3MB for my APP/1.5MB for Spiffs)" is that correct.? So the biggest APP size is 3MB?

Why do you think that your app need so much space? I am sure at 99% that your app will not need more than 800kB. If you need space for some files, you need to reserve SPIFFS or FATFS space on this flash.

Please, I just need to understand, with the setup I said in my last post am I correct? I am saving to Spiffs but I need to increase my App. I have been using a ESP32 but are getting to the top of Memory

Top of flash memory or dynamic memory (RAM)? If 3MB are not enough for your app, you can also create your own partition scheme and give 8MB to your app. I think you are confused about which memory you want to increase. You speak about flash. But probably, you mean dynamic memory that has nothing t…

Now I'm confused: On the ESP32-S3 N16r8 I have selected Flash Size 16MB , and Partition Size 8MB with Spiffs (3MB APP/1.5MB Spiffs) When I upload the program it reads Max 3342336 "Variables 327680" .... If I change the Flash Size to 4MB Default and run the program it reads Max 1310720…

Instead of save images in your sketch, it is better to save them in the data folder and upload them once. Instead of upload a 4MB sketch with all files inside the sketch. Also because you need 2 minutes to upload it, instead of 5 seconds. You have 16MB for app + data. It is up to you to choose how …

You're going to upload images to your board? What are you going to use those images for? And how many of them are you going to upload?

Hi, I will try and make my problem clear. My Sketch is a Web server, Data which is entered on a web page is saved to a SD card (No problem here). Spiffs is used to store the web page, index, script and style files. (No problem here). The problem I have is that the Sketch is getting too big to fit th…

Max is not the sketch size, but the maximum space you have to upload your sketch. Again: there is a partition scheme. You can use one of the default partition scheme or you can use your own partition scheme. But you still doesn't explain your problem. Why 3MB should not be enough?

The size of your program itself, not the components you are trying to store, has to fit inside the program memory. Let me ask this, have you tried to upload your program and the IDE has told you that you are out of space? Or are you just worried that you'll run out of space? How large is the pr…
