Arduino IDE

[lohtse]

Hope fully a simple question

whats the best setup for Arduino IDE? Whats boards/drivers etc is required? and whats settings are used?

Thank you in advance and apologies for the noob question...

This project uses Arduino CLI and is configured here https://github.com/esp32-si4732/ats-mini/blob/main/ats-mini/sketch.yaml Take a look at that file, it can help you figure out the necessary libraries and options for the IDE

But using the CLI to compile the project is quite easy https://esp32-si4732.github.io/ats-mini/development.html#compiling-the-source-code

Awesome and thank you... that helped...

I have one ats-mini V2 (unbranded) receiver & one AMNVOLT ats-mini V3 receiver (BTW, the ats-mini is an absolutely fantastic little package !! Thanks to all who have created & updated this for the rest of us to enjoy !!).

I successfully downloaded & built the ats-mini firmware version 2.33 using the Arduino IDE 1.8.19, so I thought I'd share the steps that I followed to get everything working:

1. using the boards manager, install the esp32 by Espressif Systems board package (I'm using version 3.3.2)
2. using the library manager, install the Async TCP by ESP32Async library (I'm using version 3.4.9)
3. using the library manager, install the ESP Async WebServer by ESP32Async library (I'm using version 3.8.1)
4. using the library manager, install the NTPClient by Fabrice Weinberg (I'm using version 3.2.1)
5. grab the latest firmware from the https://github/ESP32/ats-mini respository (I'm using version 2.33)

Select the following in the Tools menu:

On my Win11pro system, the built firmware was automatically installed (no additional serial drivers required).

Hopefully, that may help someone else looking to do the same thing. . .

P.S. We're out RV camping & I couldn't get the Arduino CLI method to work . . . it kept timing out when downloading the required libraries. I'll try again once we get back to modern civilization. MJC

P.P.S Once we got back home, the Arduino CLI method worked just fine. I guess it's a good thing that I ran into the problem with slow WiFi when out RV camping . . . that allowed me to bumble my way thru using the Arduino IDE !! MJC

[ EDIT: correction: I opened both cases & determined that I actually have one ats-mini V2 receiver (unbranded) and one AMNVOLT ats-mini V3 receiver ]

[ EDIT 2: Updated to reflect that Arduino CLI works back home. Also added updated screen capture to properly reflect USB CDC On Boot: "Enabled". ]
