How to build your own release

Prerequisites

  • Visual Studio Code with PlatformIO extension

Building

  1. Open src/GrowLight folder in VSCode
  2. In src/GrowLight/src/main.cpp you can customize three SSIDs and PASSWORDs for Wi-Fi STA mode:
const char* ssid = "<your_ssid>";
const char* password = "<your_pass>";

const char* ssid1 = "<your_ssid1>";
const char* password1 = "<your_pass1>";

const char* ssid2 = "<your_ssid2>";
const char* password2 = "<your_pass2>";

  1. In src/GrowLight/platformio.ini set the correct upload_port, or remove to auto-detect.

  2. Build and upload the filesystem

    • PlatformIO > esp01_1m > Platform > Build Filesystem Image
    • PlatformIO > esp01_1m > Platform > Upload Filesystem Image

  3. Build and upload the firmware

    • PlatformIO > esp01_1m > General > Upload
