ESP32 Uploading error

albertlungu · June 13, 2023, 2:24am

Hi everyone,
I just bought a brand-new ESP32 board, and RTC module, and a GC9A01 round 240x240px display (Waveshare), and I am receiving an error code upon upload. The code compiles just fine, but what pops up is an upload error, and I don't know how to fix it. Can someone please help me?

Here's the code (Credits to Volos Projects):

#include <TFT_eSPI.h> 
#include "fonts.h"
#include "time.h"
#include "RTClib.h"

RTC_DS3231 rtc;

TFT_eSPI tft = TFT_eSPI(); 
TFT_eSprite img = TFT_eSprite(&tft);

#define color1 TFT_WHITE

Hi @albertlungu. I'm going to ask you to post the full output from the upload when in verbose mode.

NOTE: These instructions will not solve the problem. They are only intended to gather more information which might provide a clue that eventually leads to a solution.

Please do this:

Select File > Preferences... from the Arduino IDE menus.
The "Preferences" dialog will open.
Uncheck the box next to Show verbose output during: ☑ compilation in the "Preferences" dialog.
Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
Click the OK button.
Attempt an upload, as you did before.
Wait for the upload to fail.
You will see a "Upload error: ..." notification at the bottom right corner of the Arduino IDE window. Click the COPY ERROR MESSAGES button on that notification.
Open a forum reply here by clicking the Reply button.
Click the <CODE/> icon on the post composer toolbar.
This will add the forum's code block markup (```) to your reply to make sure the error messages are correctly formatted.
Press Ctrl+V.
This will paste the error output from the upload into the code block.
Move the cursor outside of the code tags before you add any additional text to your reply.
Click the Reply button to post the output.
