Hi All,
I've dusted off my 6 year old box of WeatherDuino bits (life, grandchildren & a previously functioning weather station got in the way of this project), and I am attempting to restart my WeatherDuino journey with my Pro2 Compact receiver and transmitter.
I've got arduino-IDE 2.3.2 installed under Linux, with the Arduino-AVR boards & ESP8266 libraries installed .... not sure of the exact location of these, but presumable under one of the folders '.arduino15' or '.arduinoIDE'. There is no libraries folder under ~/Arduino, but this is the Sketchbook' location shown under 'Preferences'. I have extracted the downloaded WD software into ~/Arduino
First question, does IDE 2.3.2 work ok with WeatherDuino? I had something in my 6 year old notes about using Boards Manager versions below a certain release, and I have also seen something recently in the forums about potential problems with earlier releases of IDE 2.x
Second question, do I install the WD software libraries in ~/Arduino/libraries or do I need to find the already installed libraries in .arduino15 or .arduinoIDE, and place them there?
Third question; the receiver folder WeatherDuino_P2ESP8266_RX_v6.0_b003 has a number of .ino files, including WeatherDuino_P2ESP8266_RX_v6.0_b003.ino. I presume this is the correct sketch file to load into the IDE? What are the other .ino files, and do they all need copying up to the top level of ~/Arduino?
Regards,
Ian
