Hi Everyone.
I have a couple of questions about coding in Atom vs build.particle.io.
In the web I can choose what firmware version I will use, how about in Atom? Is the last firmware
version available automatically used? Any way of change that?
Also, the web IDE shows an “info” icon that, when pressed, displays the memory usage of the
code. How I get the same information with Atom.
Finally, it will be very nice if the Dashboard display the firmware version of the owned devices.
Or the Particle app…any way that can be done remotely. I’m missing something?
If you are compiling in the cloud, yes. If you are advanced, and compiling locally, you can select your firmware version.
As far I know, this information can only be found in the web IDE.
You could make a cloud variable in your code that would make a Particle return what firmware version it is on using the System.version() method. This could be done with:
Nope, with the above command you also get the memory overview and you’ll also see warning/error messages better
particle serial inspect
would give you an overview of the installed module versions and particle identify or in a serial monitor v would tell you the overall system version.
Also putting your device into Safe Mode causes the publication of a spark/status/safe-mode event that contains this info (in a somewhat cryptic form tho’)
So no need for a dedicated firmware flash to expose this info.
