I am the stupid user. I just discover theis app after failure to migrate TVout from arduino uno to arduino nano ESP32. So I downloaded and install ESP_8_bit like indicated and had a try with Hello world. Beautiful error message ResolveLibrary(driver/dac.h) I cannot belive it What is this mess ?

Roger-random commented 8 months ago

driver/dac.h is part of ESP32 Arduino Core. If it cannot be resolved, something is wrong in Arduino configuration.

JLBCS commented 8 months ago

Hi, I checked ESP32 level. seems to be OK. See attached pictures for the environment and the compile log where I could see the level of ESP32: [ESP32@2.0.0] ESP32_environment compile_error.txt

JLBCS commented 8 months ago

Hello, I did another test. On a PC which has not arduino installed, I started from scratch and installed the IDE, Then I installed ESP32 and then ESP_8_BIT_Color composite video library which installed the example GFX_HelloWorld. Same problem driver/dac.h missing.

What else can I do ???????

Roger-random commented 8 months ago

I haven't touched this code in over a year. You are using much newer versions of software and libraries compared to my last-known-good versions I listed in README. It's possible something has changed.

According to https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-reference/peripherals/dac.html

Include dac.h to use the legacy driver or dac_oneshot.h, dac_cosine.h, and dac_continuous.h to use the new driver. The legacy driver might be removed in the future.

Perhaps they have removed the legacy driver! I will need to check...

Hello,

Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but the way I did may help you.

For me the installation of the ESP_8_BIT Color Composite, from Roger-random, works following this way:

Enter on Tools -> Board and select the ESP32 board of your choice. (here I always use the "ESP32 Dev Module" for my boards)

Now open and try one of the examples from: File -> Examples -> ESP_8_BIT Color Composite Video Library -> ...

I get confused with all the ESP32 board. Right now I have the Arduino Nano ESP32. All previous tests have been run on this board. By the way I don't know how to access GPIO25 on the Nano ESP32 board for video support. I anticipated the impossibility with the Nano board so I ordered ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 ESP32-S3. Is it compatible with ESP_8_bit because designations in Readme.md by Roger mentions only ESP32-D0WD ESP32-D0WDQ6 and ESP32-PICO-D4.

EtienneGomide commented 8 months ago

I have never used this Arduino Nano ESP32. I always use that ESP32 model I show to you in the picture. Yes, the GPIO25 is necessary for video output of the ESP_8_BIT_Composite library.

Are you still using the Arduino Nano Esp32? Or a other board model of esp32?

Hello, I have progressed during this weekend. Thanks to the 'trouble shooting ESP32 web site. The example WIFI work on the nano and the ESP32-V3 board. But the hello worlld still fails.

Roger-random commented 8 months ago

I have not been able to reproduce the compilation error.

Here were the steps for my latest test:

  1. Start with a computer with Windows 11 23H2, without Arduino.
  2. Go to https://www.arduino.cc/en/software
  3. Select option "Download Windows Win 10 and newer, 64 bits"
  4. Run the Arduino installer, agree to all prompts to install USB drivers.
  5. Start Arduino IDE
  6. Select Help/About. Verify it is the current version 2.2.1
  7. Arduino IDE has a default sketch (with blank setup() and loop())
  8. Select Tools/Board/Arduino AVR Boards/Arduino Nano
  9. Click "Verify". Successful compilation indicates basic Arduino IDE is installed correctly.
  10. Go to https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32
  11. Click on "Installing" link which leads to https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/installing.html
  12. Following those instructions, open File/Preferences and add https://espressif.github.io/arduino-esp32/package_esp32_index.json to "Additional boards manager URLs"
  13. Close and restart Arduino IDE
  14. Select Tools/Board/Board Manager
  15. Filter search with "esp32"
  16. Install "esp32 by Espressif Systems" (current version is 2.0.14)
  17. Once installed, close and restart Arduino IDE
  18. Still on the default sketch (with blank setup() and loop())
  19. Select Tools/Board/esp32/ESP32 Dev Module
  20. Click "Verify". Successful compilation indicates nothing is broken.
  21. Select Sketch/Include Library/Manage Libraries...
  22. Filter search with "composite"
  23. Install "ESP_8_BIT Color Composite Video Library by Roger Cheng" (current version is 1.3.2)
  24. Agree to also install library dependencies "Adafruit_GFX" and "Adafruit BusIO"
  25. Close and restart Arduino IDE again. (Possibly paranoid but I wanted to be sure.)
  26. File/Examples/ESP_8_BIT Color Composite Video Library/GFX_HelloWorld
  27. Click "Verify". Compilation was successful, no error message about driver/dac.h
  28. Click "Upload", sketch displays as expected on composite TV.
Roger-random commented 8 months ago

OK I can now reproduce the compilation error.

Deviation from procedure listed above:

[...]

  1. Install "Arduino ESP32 Boards by Arduino" (current version 2.0.13)

[...]

  1. Select Tools/Board/Arduino ESP32 Boards/Arduino Nano ESP32

[...]

  1. Click "Verify". Compilation will fail with:
ESP_8_BIT_composite.h:48:10: fatal error: driver/dac.h: No such file or directory
 #include "driver/dac.h"
          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

exit status 1

Compilation error: exit status 1

Verdict: This error is expected when compiling with an unsupported Arduino board library.

This library was written for the "esp32 by Espressif Systems" board library at (https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32). Thank you for bringing my attention to the fact this library does not work with the "Arduino ESP32 Boards by Arduino" board library. I will update my library README accordingly.

This library has only been tested to work against the original ESP32 line, others may or may not work. I don't have any of the newer derivative products (such as ESP32-S2) to test. According to this page (https://docs.arduino.cc/hardware/nano-esp32) the Arduino Nano ESP32 board uses an ESP32-S3 which is also untested. I will also clarify this point in my README.

For reference, this is the ESP32 development board I used when making this library: (https://amzn.to/4146vWM affiliate link.) Selected because it was the cheapest ESP32 (no -S2, or -S3 suffix) available that day.

Roger-random commented 8 months ago

In hindsight, @JLBCS filed a perfect issue report. The problem was clearly visible in the provided screen shot, but I was unaware of its importance at the time. My apologies!

jlbcs bug report with problem circled in red

Also thanks to @EtienneGomide for contributing data points helping me narrow down this problem.

JLBCS commented 8 months ago

Tanks to all, I can now compile. Next issue is execution . If necessary I will open a new ticket.

Roger-random commented 8 months ago

Great to hear of progress! Thank you for the confirmation, I will close this issue.
