What happened to the demo category in the firmware builder?

[Kimm0th]

A few months ago I used the online tool to make myself a firmware, in which I tried a variety of faces. Having decided which ones I wanted to use going forward, now I find I can't include the voltage face because the demo category seems to have vanished from the page.

Am I missing something? If I have to do it on my own machine instead of the online builder, is there a better how-to than the overly brief instructions on the official page? About all I was able to glean from that is it needs to be done on a Linux box... I have an RPi 400 and a Mac running Linux, but I don't know how to drive it.

Any halp for a noob like me somewhere? I'm flat-out finding my way around GitHub.

Sorry about this - I left off the 'demo' category when I added categories to the builder last time I updated it. Should be there now.

By the way, if you have issues with the builder, you could raise them at https://github.com/wryun/sensor-watch-builder/

If you want to try building a firmware on your own machine, let us know where you get stuck with:

https://www.sensorwatch.net/docs/movement/building/

There are instructions for Linux and Mac. Sometimes it's hard when you already know things to see where the gaps are!

Hi, I have some feedback on trying to compile hope it's ok to post it here.....

I have been trying to compile the sensor watch but with no success so far :-/
Not sure I've installed everything correctly... which version of python is required (Win32, Win64 or ARM64)?
Also I did the command prompts to set the paths but nothing seemed to happen when i did.
And...., what exactly does "From within the [repo]" mean in the compile instructions... i took it to mean i had to download the repo to my local machine and open a command prompt at the repo location.
I used Github desktop to clone it on my local PC and executed the commands from the repo location but got the following result.

C:\Users\cmaso\Documents\GitHub\Sensor-Watch\movement\make>make COLOR=RED
'make' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Hope someone can give me some pointers.
Thanks,
James

Hi James,

Discord is probably your best bet, or start a new discussion (this one is about the onlline firmware builder, not building yourself - https://sensor-watch-builder.fly.dev/).

I can't help much with Windows, but if you're not getting 'make' to do anything, this is a sign you haven't correctly installed the toolchain and/or set your PATH to use the toolchain.

Inside the repo means from whatever directory you cloned the GIT repo into afaik
