Let me know when you have successfully installed the ESP-NOW library.
John,
I seem to be having problems installing the correct ESP-NOW library into the Arduino IDE.
Which is the correct one I should be looking for when searching?
When I search for "esp-now", the only one that is close to that is called "ESP_NOW_Network". I cannot find one that's just called "ESP-NOW".
After a Google search and looking on Arduino.cc, there is reference to the "SimpleEspNowConnection" library. Will this one work?
Cheers,
Ian
It's built in, no library is needed for ESP_NOW.

Hardware - Expert in 1401, 360, fairly knowledge in PC plus numerous MPU's & MCU's
Major Languages - Machine language, 360 Macro Assembler, Intel Assembler, PL/I and PL1, Pascal, Basic, C plus numerous job control and scripting languages.
My personal scorecard is now 1 PC hardware fix (circa 1982), 1 open source fix (at age 82), and 2 zero day bugs in a major OS.
Sorry for the run around with thinking you had to install the ESP NOW.
You will however need to install a servo library for the next step.
I just followed Bill's tutorial.

I will continue the project solutions and discussions back in your original topic.
@robotbuilder @imillard Just an FYI hopefully others will see. Here are all the references to python for a simple blink sketch on an esp32 board. Python is more than just a source code language, and is used by the IDE for certain situations. Here are all the references to py. Some are off screen but I think you get the idea.

Thanks guys for the clarification on ESP-NOW.
The code compiled OK and uploaded fine to the boards. It appears I now have my two boards talking to each other.
