Code will not compile in Web IDE

[aspenarnthors]

Hi there!

Newbie here trying to pull off the hacked Nest thermostat for a school project. So I guess my issue is, the codes located in Spark/thermostat/firmware aren't compatible to the Spark Web IDE, as it runs only .cpp and .h and some of the files are either .mk and .c . after finding a .cpp version of glcdfont.c, it raised issues in the code relating to code that I guess is integrated in the firmware in the Spark Core.

Is there anywhere else where I should be accessing the codes to use in the Web IDE or is the hacked Nest thermostat not achievable without local development?

I hope I'm phrasing all this correctly!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Here's the error text:

Make sure you're putting the source from "application.cpp" in the main ".ino" file, or add an #include "application.h" at the top of the file to grab Serial and other wiring libraries

I hope that helps!

Thanks!

Thanks, this helped a little. There is still an issue with "spark_wiring.h"

How did you get the code into the Web IDE?

[towynlin]

I just gave this a quick try, and it looks like this repo would need some updating to make it work with the Web IDE at build.particle.io. We wrote this code for the Core years ago. Since then our whole platform has moved forward a great deal! The Electron and Photon are much more scalable and friendly architectures. We'd love it if someone in the community would take a crack at updating this repo to work in the Web IDE for the Photon on firmware version 0.5.2!

You would probably want to start a project in the Web IDE by adding 2 libraries:

• adafruit-led-backpack
• Adafruit_GFX

Then replace the sFLASH calls with EEPROM usage.

From there, just a little debugging and maybe some more recent hardware from Adafruit would probably do it.

Cheers!

I'm now using Particle Dev for this now and I can get in there and running but there are a few errors (it needs to be updated for the Photon and newer software, like you said).
