After poitively installing and using the CMake build system on Windows 10 I now tried to install the same on a Windows 7 PC - unfortunatley without success. I am running in compilation errors: Checking Python dependencies... Python requirements from c:\Users\de527\esp\esp-idf\requirements.txt are sa...

Now I tried to install the same build system (CMake based) on a Windows 7 PC (previous installation was on Windows 10) and I am encountering compile time errors. I think I will open a separate thread for this.

@roland Hello squonk11! I fixed a similar issue in https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/commit/4749b118bc5e80e3d3ab5999444d078d36bfb1c9. Does this fix your issue? This fix is already included in my version of "idf.py". The problem still persits. But it is not a big issue since I can terminate monito...

@roland:

What is the IDF version you are using?

I am using:"v3.3-beta1-136-g97eecfa1b".

I fixed a similar issue in https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/co ... 8d36bfb1c9. Does this fix your issue?

I need to check if this also helps for me.

Now I switched to the CMake build system under Windows cmd.exe. This works tremendously fast! But I still have the problem, that I am not able to quit monitor mode by hitting "Ctrl-]". But in windows cmd.exe I have the option to exit the running script (idf.py) just by hitting "Ctrl+c". This is not ...

ah, o.k. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
But I am really having a problem with this right now: even starting the terminal mode (make monitor) takes sometimes several minutes until I see the first output on my screen.

@mikemoy: The option -jx I know already. This was not the question.
My question is that I am not able to quit the monitor mode (incoked by 'make monitor') using "Ctrl+]" key. This keystroke is simply ignored by WSL.

In the online documentation of the ESP32 I found a warning concerning the use of the SPI interface as slave: Warning: Due to a design peculiarity in the ESP32, if the amount of bytes sent by the master or the length of the transmission queues in the slave driver, in bytes, is not both larger than ei...

Since compilation in windows was too slow I also installed the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This works really fast. Thank you for the hint so far. But I am having a problem: when I invoke the terminal via "make monitor" I can not exit the terminal using the key "Ctrl+]". How can I accomplish t...
