Hi,

I have a lot of other ESP32 projects that use the latest Board Manager (3.0.3) and if I try to compile the 4pro RX software, I get the following error:

Arduino: 1.8.19 (Windows 10), Board: "MH ET LIVE ESP32MiniKit, 80MHz, Default with spiffs, 921600, None, Disabled"

F:\Backup\InstalledProgs\Arduino\4ProData\WeatherDuino_4PRO_DB_v6.3_b001_20230501\WeatherDuino_4PRO_DB\firmware\WeatherDuino_4PESP32_RX_v6.3_b002\WeatherDuino_4PESP32_RX_v6.3_b002.ino: In function 'void setup()':

WeatherDuino_4PESP32_RX_v6.3_b002:531:25: error: too many arguments to function 'hw_timer_t* timerBegin(uint32_t)'

  531 |   timer_wdt = timerBegin(2, 80, true);                     // timer 2, div 80

Do you intend to upgrade the 4pro software anytime soon? It's a real pain having to revert to ESP32 2.0.5 and then back to the latest ESP32.

Hi Chris,

I understand your words, however nor I nor any software developer can be constantly changing our software whenever the ESP32 developers decide to release a new boards manager version, which often bring many changes, which require time to be tested.

Watchdog timer in ESP32 board manage 3.0x changes a lot from previous implementation.

We do our best to keep our firmware compatible with latest boards manager versions, but that is not always is possible, at least in a short term.

Change the board manager version on the Arduino IDE, may be incovenient but hardly can be considerated a real pain, it is just a question of a few mouse clicks to change from one version to another.


Kind regards
