ESP32 Timer Issue

[yousif20121]

The code can't be uploaded on ESP32 (NodeMCU & DOIT KIT V1).

Which platform? 

Which source / example ? 

Did you try with a previous release for ESP32 ?

 It seems you use 3.0.1

Have a try with 2.0.14

[yousif20121]

Platform: Arduino IDE 2.1.1

Example: Various examples still the same result (also tried the examples in the repo)

Unfortunately in my country there's no other versions of ESP32 available.

So is there a solution for this problem?

[fanfanlatulipe26]

I am speaking about the software release of the ESP32 environment for Arduino. Please, try to install a previous release such as 2.0.14

[fanfanlatulipe26]

The problem is with the "new" release of Arduino ESP32 core 3.0.1 that you are using.

Please have a look at https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/migration_guides/2.x_to_3.0.html

In the timer section it is clearly stated that some API have changed or even been removed. Don't ask me why !!

So I hink that the best for you is to stay with a relese 2 of the ESP32 core.

As it is the IBusBM library for ESP32 board  is not compatible with ESP core 3.x.y 

Or you can try to not use a timer  (IBUSBM_NOTIMER  and a call to  loop())

Too bad that so much incompatibilities were introduced .

[yousif20121]

Already tried the IBUSBM_NOTIMER & loop() method but it also didn't work.

After checking they certainly changed some APIs which led to this incompatibility.

The downgrade of ESP32 core worked fine. I installed 2.0.14 and it uploaded normally without errors.

Thank you so much for your help.

[fanfanlatulipe26]

Fine.
But be carefull when using the timer option with ESP32. See my issues #40 and #39
The IBUSBM_NOTIMER should work
