Long compiling and load times?

I think I have learned enough from Arduino to be dangerous. So now I have "moved on" to the ESP32. One thing I have noticed right off of the bat is that it takes a very long time to compile and load the sketch into the ESP32. I am using the Arduino IDE version 2.3.8. When compiling and sending the Ardrino sketch it was much faster. Is this normal for the ESP32 to take 3 to 5 minutes to load. Thanks for your help!

Came across this PC Scope!

Cam across this scope in a thrift store. Priced right at $2.00. Seemed fair. Took it home and went onto the Hankek website where I not only found the drivers for Windows 10 but also the application software that runs the scope. Fired it up and it works! Limited bandwidth but for the few times that I need a scope should work out just fine!!!

Help finding <avr/io.h>

Apparently in order to run my sketch using TimerOne.h, I need the following library: avr/io.h, I have looked on the net but can't find the AVR portion of the library. I found IO.h. I am trying to program a Arduino Uno r4. Can someone please help me to find this library. Many thanks!

I'm pulling my hair out and I don't have that much left! The problem is with the library: TimerOne.h On a y sketch I run goves the error: Compilation error: 'class TimerOne' has no member named 'initialize'. I have looked at the keywords and initialize is in the keywords. Even the examples from the Library gives the same error. I hope this makes sense and thanks for any help. Many Thanks!!!

I have been doing FT8 for a while. Not real active but I also have discovered FT4 as well. Not well used but the timing of FT4 makes it kind of fun. Quicker QSO's is one advantage. The problem is that the same operators are on the air all the time. I have been reading about FT2. If hams don't utilize FT4 as much as FT8 then will there be many that support FT2? Just a question my old mind wonders about? Also is there any testing of FT2 going on. If so I would like to try it out.
