Hi Everyone!
I followed the setup instructions here and found myself having a minor issue building our my first project. Anyone have a clue why I am getting duplicate definitions with Visual Studios? Any help will be much appreciated!

That's a common issue, since espressif is horrible at writing headers.c_types.h refibes types from stdint.h, I suggest you fix the header by removing the duplicate definitions and adding an #include <stdint.h> instead.
Another issue with their headers is, that there's a lot of missing prototypes for functions (the esphttpd project has a header to fix most of those).
