it gives me a framework option of Arduino, and nothing else. There is an issue with VSC concerning this on platformIO forum. You should use "menuconfig" (idf.py menuconfig) but there is no clear explanation as to where this should be run. If you click on the alien icon on the left you will see the ...

You can knock off the long time it takes to read a pin state when using gpio_get_level(GPIO_NUM_27).

Try using this instead.
#define INPUT1_PIN GPIO_NUM_27
#define INPUT1_PIN_READ() (REG_READ(GPIO_IN1_REG) >> (INPUT1_PIN - 32))


if ((uint8_t)INPUT1_PIN_READ() )
{}

Not sure if this is it or not. The examples show: ret = i2c_master_cmd_begin(i2c_num, cmd, 1000 / portTICK_RATE_MS);

Not sure if pdMS_TO_TICKS(10) results are the same as 10 / portTICK_RATE_MS

PIN_FUNC_SELECT(GPIO_PIN_MUX_REG[PIN_LED_RELAY2], PIN_FUNC_GPIO); gpio_set_direction(PIN_LED_RELAY2, GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT); gpio_set_level(PIN_LED_RELAY3, 1); Did you have a type here? Shouldn't it be PIN_LED_RELAY2 ? gpio_set_level(PIN_LED_RELAY3, 1); try... gpio_reset_pin(PIN_LED_RELAY2); gpio_set_di...

you dont need a " import" just manually copy the the files to your projects "src" folder

without .vscode folder, it is Eclipse project? if the person copied the entire project folder, then yes. Can I use VSCode to import those source code from Eclipse project to VScode project? all you need to do is create a new project in either IDE. Download the GIT .c / .h source files, and copy the...

if its a vscode project there will be a .vscode folder.

How about trying gpio_reset_pin(GPIO_NUM_X); on the pins you want to reset before calling ESP.restart()
