• Migrating ESP32 project to Raspberry Pi

  I'm currently using the ESP32 Arduino framework with Platform.io and love this development environment. My C code is pretty straight forward -- I read 8 channel WAV files, do some digital processing, send them to the DAC, and process the analog output (I designed a PCB to do all the analog signal processing). It also has a built-in web interface (over Wifi) for access and control. For the DAC interface on the SPI... Source: 9 months ago

• need help for a firmware change

  Hello, I need some help, I want to change the maxtemp of the printer (locked at 260c) but I can't find how, tried my hand and failed at platform.io + code (errors, don't compile). Source: 11 months ago

• Help with files

  VScode platform.io and Auto Build Marlin are the recommended compiling tools. Source: 11 months ago

• How to Setup VSCode for C/C++ Programming (From a Microsoft Software Engineer)

  What does not work is things like platform.io. Source: 12 months ago

• Problem compiling

  If the problem persists , the issue is somewhere in your VScode, platform.io, Autobuild install. Source: about 1 year ago

• [Advice] Can you recommend me some resources on how I could structure the code of my project in a way that it would be easy for me to change microcontroller and not really change much in the application layer but mostly on just the drivers?

  Arduino is your friend or some other high level abstraction layer like platform.io of stm cube ide if you don't mind using stm chips. Source: about 1 year ago

• am I wasting my time

  I'm trying to debug an ESP32 app (hello world) using vs code with the espressif extension. I'm not using Arduino IDE or platform.io but the actual espressif extension (IDF). I've got my board plugged into a serial port on either a Mac M1 laptop or a ubuntu machine. On both machines I can compile, flash and monitor the app. On neither of them can I get the debugger to work. On Ubuntu I'm closest. When I'm simply... Source: about 1 year ago

• Allegedly ESP-12F 4 MB - Cannot, for the life of me, read the Serial output - help!

  I use VSCode with platform.io. Main.cpp does compile, and I can upload it. As expected the blue onboard-led blinks according to the code. Source: about 1 year ago

• 1st Time compiling Marlin. Having build area errors in VScode.

  You should be using vscode, platform.io and the Auto build Marlin extension. Source: over 1 year ago

• what ways are there to transmit data between two ESP devices?

  TBH, our build process and boards could be different enough that it might be hard for me to advise on how to get your code flashing. I use platform.io w/ DigQuad and DigUno boards connected directly via USB, and it "just works". Posting your troubles as a separate question will probably get you better help than I can provide!

• issues compiling firmware for skr2 v2 f429

  I have a brand new skr2 f429 board and am trying to get firmware on it but it will not compile. I am using platform.io and the latest marlin 2.1.1 downloaded directly from marlins website. Source: over 1 year ago

• Any tutorials on how to setup esp32 solo (unicore)?

  There´s no official support for Arduino IDE as far as I know, and I dont wanna spend hours on platform.io or esp idf just to find out there´s no unicore support there as well. Source: over 1 year ago

• no joking, literally takes 4 minutes for the IDE to process the array and became responsive...

  Bro IDE 2.0 is by the looks of just a trash rip from VSCode. Just forgo anything arduino.cc makes and switch to something else and write straight in C++. it'll make your life way easier. Both IDE 1.0 and 2.0 take stupidly long for me to open as opposed to VSCode with the platform.io plugin. Source: over 1 year ago

• Help with Firmware (BTT SKR MINI)

  Does anyone have known working firmware for the above specs or any advice on building from scrap? I have VS Code and platform.io installed, I'm just frazzled at this point. Source: over 1 year ago

• ESP32 S2 SD card issues when using SD library in my own library

  I'm trying to create my own library which uses the SD library, my functions work fine if they are in the main.cpp ( using platform.io ) or if they are called from within the library it's self. If I call them from the loop the ESP32 just crashes and disconnects the USB ( have to reset or power cycle the ESP32 ). Source: over 1 year ago

• SKR Mini E3 V3 and MKS Mini 12864 LCD Display

  I'm having issues getting platform.io to even build with #define MKS_MINI_12864_V3 enabled. It's telling me that it's not in the list of supported displays for the BIGTREE_SKR_MINI_E3. Source: over 1 year ago

• Ender 3 Pro with GD Chip - Firmware Update

  Hope this helps someone! If you want to update and edit firmware, download Microsoft Visual Studio and platform.io. I did not use Auto Build Martin. Instructions are in the first link. For those questioning the size of the SD card you need, I used 16gig with no issue. Reformatted to Fat32 with 4kb allocation. Source: over 1 year ago

• porting Arduino to vscode/platform.io

  I do want to lear more about platfom.io because I keep seeing that amazing things are possible with platform.io like predictable and repeatable builds. Source: almost 2 years ago

• porting Arduino to vscode/platform.io

  What is the proper way to set up the include in the platform.io file strecture to get it to work? I thought I read that you have to put each libary in it's own directory under include. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Alternative to ESP-IDF + VSCode on Windows?

  I struggled with it as well, also had issues with platform.io on Windows. I finally had enough of that mess and spun up a Debian VM for my ESP development. Works a treat. I use VMWare Workstation, some alternate that allows USB device redirection would work too (Virtual box?). Source: almost 2 years ago

• How to start learning firmware/embedded as a CS student?

  Do you know C already? get platform.io ide, which supports tons of boards and is free. I would get an arduino "starter" kit, with a breadboard, jumpers, leds, switches, etc. Once you are comfortable with arduino, get an STM32 nucleo board, which had on-board debugger so you can step through the code. A basic familiarity with electronics is helpful - lookup the Forrest Mims books. Source: almost 2 years ago
