Compile problems

[egstubbe]

To start sorry for any improper usage of my issue info.
Compile gets to lines 2781-2783 and fails and stops with errors.
will try to paste section where compile fails in code and console error output.
line errors.pdf
Console errors.pdf
Thankyou Ed.
Sorry if I messed this up.

a) Which version of WiTController are you using? (see the second line of static.h)
b) Which version of the withrottleProtocol library are you using? (look in the 'library manager' in the Arduino IDE or VSC, whichever you are using.)

I may be wrong but I think you have an old version of the Protocol Library.

I followed the current instructions and matched the versions.WiTController V1.82withrottleProtocol V1.1.14 On Sunday, January 5, 2025 at 12:42:36 AM CST, Peter Akers ***@***.***> wrote: a) Which version of WiTController are you using?

As per the notes in the readme...

• WiTcontroller version 1.82 or later requires WiThrottleProtocol version 1.1.26

The place where it referred to v1.1.14, also said "... or later if available".
I have edited that now to say just say "latest available".

Sorry Peter while i was waiting for your response i updated version to 1.1.27 "current".I missed the "or later if available" part late last night.Now it compiles ok have to wait for my hardware to show up at the end of January to download.I followed instructions on GitHub and did not read the Readme file my bad habit "me bad".One last question i can not locate the "WiFi.h or the ESPmDNS.h files are they visible anywhere?Thank you for your prompt reply sorry for my mistake i have to learn to read the readme files firstalso thank you for your work on this project.Ed On Sunday, January 5, 2025 at 06:55:22 PM CST, Peter Akers ***@***.***> wrote: As per the notes in the readme... - WiTcontroller version 1.82 or later requires WiThrottleProtocol version 1.1.26 — Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

nw.
WiFi.h and ESPmDNS.h are installed automatically as part of the ESP32 Boards library. (They are buried away in a subfolder somewhere.)
You do not need to do anything other than installing the ESP32 Boards library to get them.

This is also explained in the readme.

Thanks again for your help i did read that but wanted to try and verify it i assume it wouldnot compile with out them.You have the fastest response i have ever seen you must put your soul into it.This project along with the DCCEX station has me excited i was a Electronics Techbut still weak in the software part it.Do you have any ideas for a book to start on the c language?Have a great night.Ed.  On Sunday, January 5, 2025 at 07:47:28 PM CST, Peter Akers ***@***.***> wrote: nw.

Had a problem with platformio in respect of esptool Version 4.8. ...the option for intellihex was missing. I removed /home/YOUR_USER/.platformio/packages/tool-esptoolpy and then recompiled the project and the errors went away . Platformio uploaded a later release of esptool automatically.

The problem and potenetial fixes are listed in the paltformio issues under this heading. "Request to update ESPTool package #1417
Closed"
