Good morning
Iam trying the ESP32 for the first time and try to run (release mode) the Lolin32 with the exemple WIFIScan. In the Arduino IDE everything works. in VisualMIcro the sketch compiles, loads on the board but after the message "Hard resetting via RTS pin" nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
I am using Arduino 1.8.5 and Visual Studio 2017
Thank you
Joao

If the issue only happens when the serial monitor it open then make sure the RTS checkbox is off in the serial monitor if it isn't already.

Otherwise please switch on vmicro>compiler>verbose and also "show build properties". then build and email the output along with a zip of your code to info[at]visualmicro.com. also include link to this post thanks.

Please upload using Release and not Debug then sent the output.

Thanks

Please build and upload in Release mode without debug to prove your config.

Good afternoon.
I sent some days ago the files you asked.
Today I went on doing some trials and I realized that if I use the Arduino 1.8.5 IDE  I can program the ESP32 as I had already reported but is I then go to the VisualMicro I will receive in the serial port the correct output of the ESP32 (it is running) nevertheless if I change the program on the VisualMicro and then download the result to the ESP32 everything seems to work but the program that is running is the old one (the one programed with the Arduino IDE). It seems that even if the Visual Micro is sending the code to the ESP32 it is not modified and the original programing is the one running.
Hope you can help me.

Best regards

Joao

Hi

Sorry for the delay. We have a lot of users using the esp32 and your output shows the esp32 toolchain is being run by visual micro and that the toolchain is showing upload and correct verify.

The toolchain is entirely responsible for the upload. If you switch on file>preferences>verbose upload in the arduino ide you will see the same toolchain being called with same params

I just made a test and that works fine see below.

So I am sorry but I am confused, I can't see how the esp toolchain can upload but then the previous program is on the esp.

One point to note is that the example code you sent does not contain any code. Just an empty setup() and loop(), maybe that's causing some confusion. I don't know what the toolchain optimizer would do with a project that doesn't do anything. Maybe it just ignores it after upload leaving previous project on chip.

Good afternoon Tim
I do understand your point. After reading your answer I went back to the trial and after some insistence it just start working. Please don't ask me what I have done because I just repeat what I had done several times before and all of a sudden it just started working.
I have tried several others small program and everything seams fine.
Thank you for your help

Best regards

Joao

Great to hear that. Thanks for letting me know.
