Might be getting a bit off this thread’s topic but how would I go about making a file structure like this work if files in one subfolder need to include files in another subfolder?
For example
firmware
and then in folder2.cpp I have:
#include "../folder1/folder1.h"
but I sense that doing things this way with the “…/” appended to the front of the file path is frowned upon. What is the correct way?
Does:
#include "folder1/folder1.h"
Work in folder2.cpp/.h to include folder1? Works for me when using libraries that depend on each other in the same project.
Right you are 
Cheers, this is awesome
Even more awesome is that po-util will automatically try to download libraries that a library or project depends on. Also it has an example manager that will list avaliable examples for an installed library and allow you to load them into your project.
Here is an example, using particle-BNO055:
$ po init DEVICE_TYPE BNO055
$ cd BNO055
$ po lib get https://github.com/nrobinson2000/particle-BNO055
$ po lib ex ls particle-BNO055
$ po lib ex load particle-BNO055 simple
I am now using https://www.netlify.com/ to host the po-util website for free!
You can now view the site at https://po-util.com/
I like your tool. However the problem is with brew that I have no idea which directories and folder structures are created. Maybe you can add that in your description.
For example after installing I have now a folder particle and a folder redbearduo in my Github folder. Is that because I’ve run the installer from that folder? I have also a firmware folder for particle myself (I had an install before). So I don’t know if now everything is installed (particle-cli) twice?
I’m kind of a noob with terminal and Linux file structures, but I like to know where things end up on my harddrive. With brew a lot of magic happens behind the screens.
Is your tool updated with each particle firmware release, or can I do that myself by placing the firmware in the particle folder?
I am replying to this on gitter.
##2017-6-2: UPDATE
I am now using Gitbook and netlify to host the new po-util documentation!
I have also created the https://master.po-util.com branch subdomain on netlify which allows me to host the EXACT same files as in the master branch of the po-util repository on Github.
With this new branch subdomain I can provide cooler, shorter, and secure download links, like the new install script, which is available at https://master.po-util.com/install.
To install po-util on macOS or Linux you can now run the following to use the install script to automatically download the correct po-util version for your operating system:
$ bash <(curl -sL https://master.po-util.com/install)
I've also been making many improvements recently and I would recommend joining the po-util community on gitter to directly engage in discussing the development of po-util.
I’ve addressed my feature request for particle-cli and now made it a feature of po-util. Using the following function, po-util will attempt to find the URL of a library, and if it is a github link it will ask you if you’d like to download the library repository using git instead of downloading a release with particle-cli:
getLibURL()
{
TOKEN="$(cat ~/.particle/particle.config.json | grep 'token' | grep -oE '([0-Z])\w+' | grep -v 'token')"
DATA=$(curl -sLH "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" "https://api.particle.io/v1/libraries/$1" | json_pp)
LIBURL=$(echo "$DATA" | grep "url" | grep -oE '"((?:\\.|[^"\\])*)"' | grep "http" | tr -d '"')
}
Here is how/where getLibURL is actually used within po-util when downloading a library:
getLibURL "$LIB_QUERY"
if ( echo "$LIBURL" | grep "github" ) > /dev/null ;
then
green_echo "$LIB_QUERY is availiable on GitHub!"
read -rp "Would you prefer to download it this way? (yes/no): " answer
if [ "$answer" == "yes" ] || [ "$answer" == "y" ] || [ "$answer" == "Y" ];
then
echo
cd "$LIBRARY"
git clone "$LIBURL" "$LIB_QUERY"
echo
blue_echo "Downloaded $LIB_QUERY from GitHub."
return 0
fi
echo
fi
There is still more to be done with po-util and I plan to work on it a lot more this summer.
Is there Front end for po-util?
There is a front end of sorts. If you use Atom you can use the keyboard build shortcuts po-util generates for you or add your own on a per project basis. Po-util is open source so feel free to make any suggestions or contributions. I’d like to create a more end user friendly front end for po-util if there was demand for it.
This is coolest invention I ever seen. But uhm…
I have Redbear duo. I’ve tried this commands.
po dfu duo
po dfu redbear
po dfu red
po dfu bear
Please choose "photon", "P1", "electron", "core", or "pi",
or choose a proper command.
Common commands include:
build, flash, clean, ota, dfu, serial, init, config, setup, library“duo” should work for the Redbear Duo
For device dependent commands the device type comes before the option, so it would be po duo dfu
Once you have made a project with:
po duo init PROJECT_NAME
cd PROJECT_NAME
You should be able to run commands like:
po duo build
@ParticleIce, based on that error message it looks like you are using an older version of po-util, possibly before I fully added duo support. I would highly recommend updating via reinstallation or by running:
po update
Did you install po-util using Homebrew?
Also, are you running po-util on macOS or on Linux? I checked your post history and you are likely on macOS. Recently po-util has not been able to build firmware for duo on linux and I have no idea why, but everything works fine on macOS.
Po-util can now list particle devices connected via serial and identify their platform. This works on both Linux and macOS.
Example:
$ po list
Found the following Particle Devices:
Photon: /dev/ttyACM0
Using po list is significantly faster than particle serial list.
If you could merge those improvements back into the CLI, everybody could benefit 
Well considering the reason it is faster (by a fraction of a second) is because there isn’t any NodeJS overhead I don’t know how I could merge my bash scripting into NodeJS.
I’m also terrible at NodeJS and wouldn’t know where to start with contributing to particle-cli.
What does this mean?

Does:
$ po duo update
Even work?
Po-util compiles duo firmware fine for me on macOS. Have you updated po-util to the most recent version yet?
It's latest update. I did. I'm not sure If I pricked redbear.
$po install
You are on macOS. po-util will be installed via Homebrew
Homebrew is installed.
