Hello HansR,


I'm glad that finally you are able to compile the code.

I understood your complains, however let me counterpoint:

1 - I think you should have a readme, it is dissatisfactory that there is no indication of the board required, the library location and that it does not compile out of the box. Not everybody works with the IDE on a daily basis. Once per 5 years is already frequent if one only uses AQMIII

For every WeatherDuino firmware version, there is a clear information about which IDE version should be used as also the boards version that should be used. For the case of the WeatherDuino AQMIIII:

WeatherDuino Air Quality Monitor III - v6.1_b010 - Release date: 2022-05-21
Tested with Arduino IDE 1.8.19 and ESP32 2.0.3 (may not compile with other versions).

-------------------------------------

2 - The warnings are not very comforting

Warnings are common when compiling Arduino code, and they are just that, if the software will compile successfully then it will work as expected.


-------------------------------------

3 - I think you should do some upgrade related to the new IDE and especially pay more attention to the location of the libraries relative to the sketch root

In the short term there are no plans to convert any of the WeatherDuino software to work with Arduino IDE 2.x.x
I think its not my responsibility teach how to use Arduino and where Arduino libraries should be installed. Please refer to this statement on the WeatherDuino Wiki:

Do I need to have Arduino programming skills?

No, there is no need to have programming skills. However its assumed that the user has a minimal knowledge of the Arduino IDE. It is necessary to know how to install libraries and how to make minor edits to code.
Editing the code is only required to change the value of some pre-defined settings, to make the software work correctly with the set of weather instruments you intend to use, and to define some user preferences, such as using metric or imperial units.

-------------------------------------

4 - I am  not going to replace my current firmware with this compile, I'll await your solution for the NULL in the return of the AirLink simulation (see this post)

In a few days I will release a new WeatherDuino AQMIII firmware version with a fix for NULL in the return of the AirLink simulation.


Thank you for your comments and concerns.
