How to auto select a target when cloud compiling?

[jed]

How can I include code to be used on one platform/device Vs another when compiling?

Specifically, I want to include a Particle.function that sets SSID/Password when targeting the photon, but not for the electron.

You can use PLATFORM_ID or any of the related defines for conditional compiling (#if defined())

PLATFORM_ID for the Esersies?

I have some sketches that use conditional compile branches based on PLATFROM_ID and #if (PLATFORM_ID == PLATFORM_ELECTRON_PRODUCTION) works for the E-Series just fine.

Require dependencies based on PLATFORM_ID

That depends on your code. You can write one single code featuring the required compile directives to match all or you break up your code in dedicated modules which can be included according to PLATFORM_ID. PLATFORM_ID is available at compile time, but project.properties is agnostic to that since it’s not used at compile time but before to that to distinguish what to tell the build environment to do. You can add the dependencies for both platforms, but only include the required ones in your c…
