I followed the steps from the installation guide:

Hi Julian!

Thanks for your report!

I've tried to fix the error and updated the code. Could you please try the new version from the repository?

If it does not help, please provide your compiler version (the outputs of the gcc --version command).

Thank you for the quick reply and fix! Works like a charm!

Thanks for the photo, I've added this device to the list of tested ones :)
