Problem with library installation for PlatformIO about esp_dmx

[someweisguy]

Thanks for the feedback!

I'm not sure what is causing this, but I have some guesses. Which ESP32 are you using? The base ESP32? Or something like the ESP32-S3? And what version of ESP-IDF are you using?

[someweisguy]

I believe I have found the primary issue. The v3.0.0-beta tagged version of this library did not support ESP-IDF v5, which PlatformIO now uses!

I have added ESP-IDF v5 support as of January, so it should be a pretty straightforward fix - just need to publish a new tagged version. However, I am now seeing that PlatformIO inexplicably does not include certain files from ESP-IDF v5. So PlatformIO says it uses ESP-IDF v5, but it's not actually v5. So I am going to add some fixes for this issue and I'll publish a new tagged version ASAP! Edit: I don't think this is actually the case now. I think it may be more likely that I am terrible at PlatformIO. But it does look like there are a few issues with the example code that I need to resolve. VSCode is also showing some errors here or there, even though I am able to compile the code with the errors without issue.

If you could still verify that you're using ESP-IDF v5 on PlatformIO and which ESP32 hardware you're using, that would be excellent!

Yes, I'm using ESP32-S3. And the latest ESP-IDF version, I guess it is v5.0 according to changelog, I don't know how to check it in VSCode.
I had some of the features missing after clean VSCode reinstall too. It seems that reinstalling and just updating is not the same.
Thanks for reply and upcoming fix!

[someweisguy]

This appears to be fixed! I published v3.0.1-beta with the new changes.

BUT: I was a dummy and published the PlatformIO package before testing for ESP32-S3. So for right now, you will have to clone this repo into your lib folder on PIO. I am waiting for the package to become unpublish on PIO. Once it is, I will republish it with the fixes for ESP32-S3, and close this issue.

Let me know if you have any issues!

hello, I am trying to use the Library in an arduino Projekt in Platformio.
Project configuration:

[env:FirstFlash]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32doit-devkit-v1
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
upload_speed = 115200
board_build.filesystem = littlefs

Is the Library Arduino compatible?
I installed the new version in the lib folder as described but I get a boatload of compiling errors similar to these ones:

in main.cpp i only imported the header esp_dmx.h do I need to do something with it in the code?

I am not shure if my Problems belong in this issiue or if I should open a new one, please Advise.

similar error messages apear while using Version 3.0.0-beta downloaded over PlatformIO

[zms16]

Thank you! The code builds perfectly without any errors now. Unfortunately, I can't test it on a esp32-s3 board right now, because there is some problem with uploading after VSCode reinstall, but it is not library related, so I have no more questions, thanks again.

Hi Bombenscheck,

It appears to work on Arduino for me. You should be able to use v3.0.1-beta by cloning it from git into your lib folder. Let me know if that works for you.

It appears PlatformIO has unpublished the mistake I made but I am still having issues publishing fixes. I am hoping this issue will be resolved soon.

[Bombenscheck]

OK, I Removed all Files from my lib Folder and imported it again. Now it works... I have no Idea what went wrong the first time around.
Thanks @someweisguy for your answer.

[someweisguy]

This should be resolved, so I am going to close this issue.

It turns out that when you ask PlatformIO to unpublish your release, they don't let you republish the release later with the same version number. So I had to publish v3.0.2-beta. You should now be able to add this library as a dependency using the PIO dependency manager.

Let me know if you run into any more issues and I will reopen this ticket!
