Nailed it thanks!
Configuration.h and tables.h were in the same directory as the .ino file but there was also a data file which went to a prototypes.h.txt whic has nothing in it when opened.? Dumped the data file and it configured without any problems---great!
Ok so what do I do next?? Looks like I've got to order some bits like the nextion etc before I can go any further and see anything happen.
?
Anything else I can be advised of? ---it seems a very quiet group---has everyone got them working and moved on?.
