Prerequisites

  1. Install git

PlatformIO

Installation

  1. Since we plan on using the Arduino Due and there are some issues with the current version of PlatformIO, we will be using the development version for now. Atom is recommended but the command line is great as well.

    If you're using Atom, here's how to use the dev version:

    Menu PlatformIO: Settings > PlatformIO IDE > Use development version of PlatformIO

    If you're using the command-line, here's how to use the dev version:

    # install the latest development version of PlatformIO
pip install -U https://github.com/platformio/platformio/archive/develop.zip

Usage

  • The Atom IDE is pretty straight forward to use, but here are some useful tips:

    <richard, elaborate on this, what buttons/keyboard shortcuts to compile/upload etc>

  • If you're using the command-line, here are some common PlatformIO commands (make sure you're in project root):

     # build the project
 platformio run
 
 # upload to board
 platformio run --target upload
 
 # serial monitor
 platformio serialports monitor
 
 # library stuff
 platformio lib
