Hi, I need to clone a Photon that is not mine. That Photon is running a home brew Maker Space card reader system. I am trying to clone their setup for our Maker Space. I purchased the Photons and I can connect to them using a USB micro cable. The Maker Space sent me the firmware files (ending in .h …

@ninjatill , the errors I see are: error /Users/avtolstoy/Development/particle/photon-wiced/WICED/platform/MCU/STM32F2xx/peripherals/libraries/stm32f2xx_flash.c:317:0: undefined reference to "__flash_acquire" error /Users/avtolstoy/Development/particle/photon-wiced/WICED/platform/MCU/STM32F2xx/perip…

However, when i go to flash it, it is giving “You are not including led.h log_backup.h rest_client.h wifi_login.h even though they are a part of this app. Are you sure you want to continue? To include these files, please hit cancel and add incl…

[image] stankcheeze: You are not including led.h log_backup.h rest_client.h wifi_login.h even though they are a part of this app. That's just an ignorant warning from the Web IDE which expects you to include these headers in your .ino file since it doesn't know that you'll be indirectly inclu…

ok. i will try again this evening. thanks again everyone for your help.

update… i had to login with a different laptop at home. i was getting several more error messages. i removed the MACS app and readded them back in with the instructions from above. I copied the contents of the main.cpp into the macs.ino, added the #pragma once into the .h files (first line), set the…
