Pete,
I seem to have gotten myself in to a real mess as to where the libraries are to be located
I am no being confronted with this error message.
Please help - I am just not getting this entire thing right with one step forward and 2 steps back.
Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 10), Board: “NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Flash, Disabled (new aborts on oom), Disabled, All SSL ciphers (most compatible), 32KB cache + 32KB IRAM (balanced), Use pgm_read macros for IRAM/PROGMEM, 4MB (FS:2MB OTA:~1019KB), 2, v2 Lower Memory, Disabled, None, Only Sketch, 115200”
Executable segment sizes:
ICACHE : 32768 - flash instruction cache
IROM : 422816 - code in flash (default or ICACHE_FLASH_ATTR)
IRAM : 29797 / 32768 - code in IRAM (IRAM_ATTR, ISRs…)
DATA : 1624 ) - initialized variables (global, static) in RAM/HEAP
RODATA : 6124 ) / 81920 - constants (global, static) in RAM/HEAP
BSS : 27704 ) - zeroed variables (global, static) in RAM/HEAP
Sketch uses 460361 bytes (44%) of program storage space. Maximum is 1044464 bytes.
Global variables use 35452 bytes (43%) of dynamic memory, leaving 46468 bytes for local variables. Maximum is 81920 bytes.
