Arduino libraries clarification request

[hpsaturn]

Summary

The current documentation is not clear regarding the right libraries to use. We have two sections, two readme files with this information, but also we have the header of the .ino file that mentioned different libraries. I tested with both and I had the same results, then, don't worries for that, but maybe we should define better these information.

On the other hand, PlatformIO is more clear with that. In the platformio.ini that I pushed, we could put the strict version of the libraries from the PlatformIO registry. For instance I have:

[env:m5echo]
extends = esp32common
lib_deps = 
  m5stack/M5Atom @ ^0.1.2
  links2004/WebSockets @ ^2.4.1
  https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoHttpClient
  https://github.com/lacamera/ESPAsyncWebServer
  fastled/FastLED @ ^3.6.0

(but, I repeat, we need more clarification for these libraries, specifically regarding ArduinoHttpClient and ESPAsyncWebServer versions)

Curent Arduino ino file header libraries info:

#include <AsyncTCP.h> //https://github.com/me-no-dev/AsyncTCP using the latest dev version from @me-no-dev
#include <DNSServer.h>
#include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h> //https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer using the latest dev version from @me-no-dev

Good call out, we really should clarify what arduino libraries are necessary. There is a pull request in right now to change some of this, I'll make sure these other libraries get in there. Thanks

Thanks for this issue. I clicked on Verify on the Arduino IDE and it output this error:

OpenInterpreter\01\software\source\clients\esp32\src\client\client.ino:6:10: fatal error: ESPAsyncWebServer.h: No such file or directory
 #include <ESPAsyncWebServer.h> //https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer using the latest dev version from @me-no-dev
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
exit status 1

Compilation error: ESPAsyncWebServer.h: No such file or directory

So, @hpsaturn, it's okay to not include it?

Well, I added it and the IDE output was:

It verified, so the upload should be good.
