Setting Up Development Environment

PlatformIO

OpenESS++ is made for use with platformio, an advanced ecosystem for microcontroller development. To get started with coding esphomelib applications, you first have to install the atom-based platformio IDE or for advanced users, install the command line version of platformio.

Then create a new project for an ESP32-based board (for example, esp32doit-devkit-v1). Then open up the newly created platformio.ini file and insert

; ...
platform = espressif32
board = esp32doit-devkit-v1
framework = esp-idf
lib_deps = openess

Finally, create a new source file in the src/ folder (for example main.cpp) and start coding with openess.
