Hi, Now that the Windows 10 install works, I would like to understand the process.

As an example, I setup a flow that displays a timestamp in the dashboard.

I then select this flow, create a configuration for the Simulator of the Moddable Two and run the Build. The output in the console window looks nominal:

Starting build process... Host system check: Windows 10 Home HOME directory check: C:\Users\Stephane Creating build environment for platform sim/moddable_two.

This creates a folder and a cache.js file in the .node-red\mcu-pligin-cache folder.

What is the next step from there?

Thanks for the help... Stephane.

It should at least emit the message, that the simulator target is not supported on Windows platforms. Sorry! You need to connect a physical MCU device to your system & run this process. I'm not sure yet it will succeed. To ensure this is among the prio topics on my current to do list...

@sleveel : Windows support for hardware devices is meanwhile fully operational. I'm looking forward to your feedback...
