Hello. I am developing a fairly complex firmware for Argon/Boron using VS Code + Particle Workbench plugin. I have different parts arranged in different modules/tabs/files inside VS code including the source files and a header file for each. I am using .cpp and .hpp extensions on the modules/files and using the .ino file having same name as the project for main and setup.
I presently do all updates to the device via USB from VS Code.
How do I transfer this project to the Particle Web IDE so I can use it to remote update the deployed devices? All I can see in the Web IDE interface is a single page of code with no way to add a folder or new tabs/files/etc.
Following Moors7 lead, before transfer to Web IDE, try the following using VSC to load your firmware/deviceOS on your devices via OTA:
First, run the following command. Be sure to enter the correct "Target Device ID / Name" -
Particle: Configure Project for Device
Second, run -
Particle: Clean application & DeviceOS (local)
Third, compile using the command -
Particle: Cloud Compile
Next, confirm your project settings by reviewing the blue bar at bottom of screen. Starting at center going left to right, check your settings (hover for these descriptions): Active Particle Platform, Active Device OS Version, Your Target Device ID / Name.
If your project settings are correct, then, while your particular Argon/Boron device is breathing cyan, flash project via OTA using the command -
Particle: Cloud Flash
Hopefully , this should load your deployed device remotely.
Thank you. I didn’t realize I could start a cloud update from the VS Code interface. That’s cool.
Is there a way to still create the project in the web IDE with the tabs/modules?
I have a client that isn’t super savvy on the code side. I would like to move the project to the web IDE anyway and save the project there, so he can open it and edit a few things from time to time then re-load to the live device from the web IDE if needed. So he doesn’t need VS Code and all that on his local machine.
