How to build latest IotaWatt from Github?

Support

Hi,

Does anybody know how to build a IotaWatt firmware file from the Github repo?

(The last release was from March 2021, but it seems like there’s been plenty of updates in the repo since then - was hoping to see if there was either a later pre-release build, or some way to test the updates?).

Thanks,
Victor

The repository is designed to work with PlatformIO. I use PIO with VScode. All of the dependencies are listed in the platformio.ini file.

Hi Bob, I’m trying to compile IotaWatt myself but it just bombs out, mainly around the SD card system. I’ve pulled the standard version and fired up PIO but I cannot figure it out - are there some other dependencies I need to know about?

The SDPinMap seems to not know about Espressif architectures and I get a

C:\Users\Tony.platformio\lib\SD/utility/Sd2PinMap.h:371:2: error: #error Architecture or board not supported.
#error Architecture or board not supported.

Regards

All dependencies are in the platform.ini file.
