I am getting this error in Arduino IDE plz help

I am getting error in arduino IDE installed as windows app for ESP32 board. The error message mentions <E (246) spi_flash: Detected size(4096k) smaller than the size in the binary image header(8192k). Probe failed >

the code is below .


/* This Monitors the Fuel level data at Ananlog input Pin 32 and sends this data along with GPS to the blynk server.  sendData() function reads the analog data at > potpin=32 then stores tis value in an array >samples[numSamples] then the >ratio takes average of it and potvalueavg sends this data to Blynkvirtual pins. The sendGps() simply reads the GPS coordinates and sends them to the Virtual pins of BLYNK, three of them for latitude,longitude and speed and fourth one location pin. 
The hsdConsump() function keeps track of the fuel level when the engine is in off position and stores this in array int rate[numSamples] and calculate max and min and compares them so that the data <ratio> is monitored through comparison of maximum and minimum value and if the level is becoming less then trigger is generated if its more then trigger is generated that fuel is being filled. */

This isn’t anything to do with Blynk, or the sketch that you’ve posted.

The uploader is warning you that you’ve chosen a board type that expects the SPI_Flash to be 8192k, but when the board is asked how much SPI_Flash memory it actually has it reports that it has half of what is expected (4096k)

I assume (but this a guess because you haven’t told us what board type you are using and what specific ESP32 chip it has onboard, or what board type you chose in the IDE) that you’ve selected the wrong board type in the IDE.

If you’re using an unusual board that required its own board definition file to be added to the IDE then maybe there is a problem with that board definition file.

Also, you’ll most likely find that Blynk.virtualWrite in the void setup will either be either unsuccessful, or unreliable.
You should add a BLYNK_CONNECTED() function and move your Blynk.virtualWrite to that from your void setup.

Pete.

I am sorry the program is getting compiled , by mistake I have changed the flash size, but still the code is not running after two lines , it is stopping some where. Below is the serial monitor.
kindly help!

Please edit your post and remove the blockquotes and the screenshot from your post, then copy/paste the output from your serial monitor with triple backticks at the beginning and end (as you did with your sketch in the first post).

I’d suggest that you take a look at the way in you are using the serial ports, as there appears to be a conflict there.
Also, your code seems to jump between using gps and neogps as your GPS object name.

Once again, these aren’t Blynk related issues.

Pete.
