## How Can I Contribute?
6
+
7
+
### 1. Reporting Bugs
8
+
- Use the **Issues** tracker
9
+
- Use a clear title (e.g. "Crash when calling begin() with invalid pin")
10
+
- Describe the **exact steps** to reproduce
11
+
- Include your **board**, **IDE version**, **library version** and **relevant code snippet**
12
+
- Attach minimal complete example sketch if possible
13
+
14
+
### 2. Suggesting Enhancements / New Features
15
+
- Open an issue with the prefix **[Feature request]**
16
+
- Explain the use-case → what problem would this solve?
17
+
- Describe your ideal API / behavior (code examples are very helpful)
18
+
19
+
### 3. Submitting Code Changes (Pull Requests)
20
+
21
+
#### Small fixes (typos, comments, examples, small bug fixes)
22
+
→ Just open a pull request — no prior issue needed
23
+
24
+
#### Larger changes / new features
25
+
1. Open an issue first to discuss the idea
26
+
2. Get a rough 👍 from maintainer(s)
27
+
3. Fork the repo from 'dev' branch and create your branch (`fix/xxx`, `feature/yyy`, `docs/whatever`)
28
+
4. Make your changes
29
+
5. Update or add examples when appropriate
30
+
6. Add/update comments in code
31
+
7. Submit the pull request
32
+
33
+
### Pull Request Guidelines
34
+
35
+
-**One feature / fix = one pull request** (smaller PRs are easier & faster to review)
36
+
- Use descriptive commit messages
37
+
- Good: `Fix I2C timeout handling on ESP32`
38
+
- Bad: `update`
39
+
- Reference any related issue (`Fixes #123`, `Closes #89`, etc.)
40
+
- If you change public API, update README.md and library.properties
41
+
- New features should include an example sketch in `examples/`
42
+
43
+
## Coding Style
44
+
45
+
PLease follow the existing C++ style (per the .clang-format)
46
+
47
+
- 2 spaces indentation (no tabs)
48
+
-`camelCase` for functions and variables
49
+
-`UpperCamelCase` / `PascalCase` for class names
50
+
-`#define` constants in `ALL_CAPS`
51
+
- Keep lines < ~100 characters when reasonable
52
+
53
+
(But consistency with existing code is more important than strict rules)
54
+

For minor changes just submit your PR and I'll try to review it, but for anything more 'impactful' please open an Issue first and start a discussion. Is better to sound out what it is you want to achieve first, and try to come to a consensus on what the best approach is, especially when it impacts the structure or architecture of this codebase.

Here are some general principals you should try to adhere to:
94
95
* Keep it simple. Please, don't think like a high-level lang programmer. Think embedded, and keep code concise, without any unnecessary layers.
95
96
* No dynamic memory allocation, except during setup/begin functions.
96
97
* Use the same brace and indenting style that's in the core source modules. (A .clang-format is prob going to be added soon, but please do NOT retroactively re-format existing code. This just creates unnecessary diffs that make finding problems harder)

## RAK Wireless Board Support in PlatformIO

Before building/flashing the RAK4631 targets in this project, there is, unfortunately, some patching you have to do to your platformIO packages to make it work. There is a guide here on the process:

After building, you will need to convert the output firmware.hex file into a .uf2 file you can copy over to your RAK4631 device (after doing a full erase) by using the command `uf2conv.py -f 0xADA52840 -c firmware.hex` with the python script available from:
