Trying to compile the WAVESHARE_7_5_T7 sketch on a fresh Arduino IDE install fails #178

followed the directions. other people seem to be using the sketch fine but im not sure if they all have other models of the screen. i have the v2 waveshare 7.5" e-paper. i load arduino ide, add required libraries, and it wont compile due to missing HTTPClient.h. all the http client libraries i can find are spelled differently HttpClient. when i change the sketch and the obtain_MX function (in common.h) to the other spelling it chokes on other syntax errors. apparently i dont have the correct library somewhere. someone on reddit suggested that perhaps the ESP32 library has now been superseded by the ESP8266 library. could that be a problem? i just want the thing to compile.

arduino ide 1.8.19 when i change the HTTPClient to HttpClient in common.h i get: Multiple libraries were found for "HttpClient.h"

Used: /home/darren/Arduino/libraries/ArduinoHttpClient

Not used: /home/darren/Downloads/arduino-1.8.19/libraries/Bridge

exit status 1

no matching function for call to 'HttpClient::HttpClient(WiFiClient&)'

Have you installed the ESP32 compiler? Version?

G6EJD commented 2 years ago

I've just compiled this version and no errors found.

You've most probably installed the incorrect HTTP library. There is no need for an external library as the correct one is in-built with the compiler. Only those libraries that I reference at the start are required from external sources.
