Compilation error with select: / - platform: LD2412 / mode: / name: Engineering Mode

[brofeelgood]

Hardware: Seeed Studio Xiao esp32c3 + ld2412

I added the following to my yaml to enable engineering mode, but compilation isn't possible. I suspect this is related to #14.

select:
  - platform: LD2412
    mode:
      name: Engineering Mode

I had time to sit down and fiddle around with the codes. After changing this->parent_->set_basic_config() to this->parent_->set_light_out_control(), which basically does nothing, it compiles successfully and Engineering Mode now works as a select pulldown as intended.

One weird thing I encountered was when I pointed to the forked repository in github in my esphome yaml, it insisted on reading off the main branch in the Rihan9 repository for some reason. I had to rename the forked branch to something other than main for the right files to be read and compiled.

Closing this issue.

Hi brofeelgood,
sorry for the late reply, I was horribly busy these days.
The method set_basic_config is available only if you add least one number entity. I should probably enable it even for the select entities.
