Repeated on my Mac (running Tahoe), no issues.

  1. Installed VS Code
  2. Installed PlatformIO IDE through the Extensions Manager
  3. Downloaded Eric's github repo

  5. Opened the folder in VS Code (File -> Open Folder)
  6. Clicked on/opened the platformio.ini file
  7. Clicked Build

Lots of thanks @Stinkerton18 I really appreciate your input here.

I did clone the entire repo. I need to try with the earlier version of Greimans sdfat. I'm currently on a work trip, so I'll continue when back at home.
Honestly, I found PlatformIO to be significantly simpler to setup and use to compile here. It took care of the necessary library versions (thanks to the entries in the platformio.ini file). It really was as simple as I listed, and this is coming from someone who never touched it before. I had used the older Arduino IDE and back leveled the libraries to older releases when I built mine.

@Stinkerton18 Apparently I got it compiling. The key was to use the older version of sdfat, as you suggested. Now I just need to program the nano, but that is left on the weekend.

Again, lots of thanks!
