Okay, not 100% certain how I managed to come to the resolution, but for future notice:
- Do not modify any files until you can get it to build with the default files, as it will cause unnecessary amount of variables that it could be to check
- use the basic setup as outlined here, however stop at the install requirements.txt step, and instead…
- Read the readme file!! and use the setup and build commands!!
- Read the error messages, and if you are like me (no clue what you are doing) use something like ChatGPT to help you understand what it is saying
- I have found the build.py command to give worse error messages than running pio run --verbose so if it is not building, perhaps try to run that
Hope this was helpful!
