no rtttl on test releases?

Hi there,

I flashed a test release ESP_Easy_mega_20210223_test_beta_ESP8266_4M1M because i need the P045 MPU-6050, currently on testing.
When I tried to use the rtttl command i got this message:

2643525: RTTTL : command not included in build

Is there any release with both P045 and rtttl?
thanks!

Because of the test builds being too large to fit in flash, some features have been disabled, and one of the features that's dismissed is the rtttl command.

You can build your own Custom build, including P045, so you have the features you need.

Thanks for the answer. Noted ;)

I'll learn how to build a custom build following the documentation I have seen around here.

That P045 is included in the Custom builds, can't tell for sure if rtttl is included atm. though

Thanks for the hint. I have tried two:

ESP_Easy_mega_20210114_custom_ESP8266_4M1M
ESP_Easy_mega_20201227_custom_ESP8266_4M1M

and rtttl is also not included.

Furthermore, P023, P033 and P038 are not included in these custom builds either (however P045 it is!), so seems that I will have to make my own build either with Arduino IDE or PlatformIO.

Wish me luck!

I'd advise to use VSCode with PlatformIO, that's IMHO the best environment for building ESPEasy. (Unless you are really fond of the, somewhat awkward and 'old fashion' styled, Arduino IDE)

Thanks Ath. I am not fond of the 'old fashion' styled Arduino IDE haha but I am a newbie with ESPEasy (and all related to it).

EDIT to remove lot of meaningless wording of my pathetic experience trying to build a custom using the Arduino IDE method with:
P001,P003,P005,P006,P023,P033,P034,P036,P038,P045,P049,C004 plugins

(i did not succeed despite following exactly the tutorials).

Finally I found out by pure chance a DEV build that includes all plugins I need plus the rtttl

ESP_Easy_mega-20191130_dev_ESP8266_4M1M.bin

I flashed the latest DEV available (20210114), but RTTTL was not included. If somebody knows when RTTTL was excluded from DEV and TEST builds, I would be able the latest useful (for me) build.

Big thanks!
