Problems Compiling Firmware: polar_coaster

[tinmahc]

A while ago I purchased a Grbl_ESP32 CNC Development Board (V3.1) from Tindie, knowing at some point I'd find a use for it. I now have a need for a simple two joint scara machine, and I'm determined to use the development board and the awesome Grbl_ESP32 firmware.

I planing to build on the work the talented Mr Dring has done with the polar coaster and inverse kinematics. However, I'm not off to a good start. I'm getting the following Arduino IDE error message when I attempt to compile with polar_coaster.h as the defined machine in Machine.h

Alternatives for Custom/polar_coaster.cpp: [] ResolveLibrary(Custom/polar_coaster.cpp)o_build_771900\sketch\src\CustomCode.cpp:7:34: fatal error: Custom/polar_coaster.cpp: No such file or directory

I'm able to compile (and upload) non polar_coaster configurations without issue, including test_drive.h and 3axis_v3.h It seems that any configuration that needs a file from the Custom folder has the same compile error... Custom/....cpp: No such file or directory.

Hopefully I'm not missing something embarrassingly obvious.

I'm using an unmodified "main" branch that was downloaded today - only mod is to define machine in Machine.h Arduino IDE is 1.8.13 (Windows 10)

We need to fix that, but in the meantime, perhaps you would consider compiling with PlatformIO, either under VSCode or from the command line. PlatformIO compiles are much faster than Arduino, so you will be happier in the long run, especially since you are likely to need many compilations to complete your coding project.

Thanks for the suggestion, problem solved! Have been meaning to test drive PlatformIO/VSCode for a while now, glad I've finally done it.

I have the same problem, how did you solve this error? Thanks...
