I’m trying to install [the battery usermod](https://github.com/Aircoookie/WLED/tree/main/usermods/Battery) using VS Code and keep getting failures to build after prepping platformio\_override.ini. Error occurs regardless of if I clone the git with GIT GUI or download the cloned zip directly

```auto
[platformio]

default_envs = esp32dev

[env:esp32dev]

board = esp32dev

platform = ${esp32.platform}

platform_packages = ${esp32.platform_packages}

build_unflags = ${common.build_unflags}

build_flags = ${common.build_flags_esp32}

-D USERMOD_BATTERY

-D WLED_RELEASE_NAME=Dining Table Panel

-D DEFAULT_LED_COUNT=32

# -D USERMOD_SENSORSTOMQTT

lib_deps = ${esp32.lib_deps}

monitor_filters = esp32_exception_decoder

board_build.partitions = ${esp32.default_partitions}
