Is there any way to send you a screen shot?

Hi.
I also uninstalled and installed again.
Only the sidebar icon is the pioarduino icon (like previous), and the other icons are still the alien icon.

Regards,
Sara

By the way, it also solved my problem with my Esp32 c3 mini constantly rebooting which I thought was a WiFi problem, until I turned on ARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT =1 and could see in the serial monitor that the chip was rebooting all the time.

I guess I should have left well enough along. After reading the posts, I disabled and than re-enabled pioarduino extension in VScode to see if the platformio references changed to pioarduino. To my surprise the icon on the left bar changed back to platformio. The welcome page is also platformio. If I look at installed extensions pioarduino shows to be enabled. But all my version 3.0 code still compiles without errors.

Hi.

I’ll take a look.
Thank you for taking the time to point that out.

Sara

You wrote this in a previous reply here on the site.
If you add this line in your PlatformIO projects, on the plaformio.ini file, it will use core 2, and you can still use older methods.
platform = espressif32@3.5.0

because of that I found this page.
https://gist.github.com/maxpromer/2e88c13ab8692263c88870ca8636cf0c
There I found that if I use
platform = espressif32@6.9.0
which is equivalent to arduino core 2.0.17
then I could program Esp32 s2, esp32s3 and Esp32 c6
under PioArduino
so thank you Sara

Hi JB,
I think you’ve posted your reply to the wrong thread.

David

Hi Sara,
Yes it is now different, it is now as I described in my earlier post.
I think if you now reload your pioarduino extension you’ll see what I mean. As I say, it is a fairly minor, but nevertheless confusing detail to those following the tutorial.
Regards,
David
