Compile error with V2.1.3 and PlatformIO - ESP32

[gerthalberg]

Hi, I get the following compile error when trying to compile a simple example. My thought is, that someone before me has experienced it.

Please provide the version of the designer, tcMenu library and plugins. Depending on the version of the designer UI, these can either be found from General Settings or About.

Hi Dave,
The Menu designer is:
2.1.13
and the plug-ins

and PlatformIO library is:
name=tcMenu
version=2.1.3
maintainer=www.thecoderscorner.com
author=davetcc
category=Other

There is a bug in the 2.1.x plugins that included the TFT_eSPI.h header in the wrong case. On some platforms this caused problems. Open the file tcMenuTfteSpi.h and check that the include of the TFT_eSPI library looks exactly as follows:

    #include <TFT_eSPI.h>

If not change the case, originally the TFT part had a lower case 'f' instead of capital.

This is already fixed in the 2.2 BETA, and will be released soon.

EDIT- I've checked the Esp32Amplifier example on my hardware just now, all compiles and works as expected on 2.2.
