Hi All,

I’m getting the following error when compiling my app using make on the ubuntu command line:

% cd firmware/main
% make APP=test

commit c192999b7b2da9cdf9a1f954c2be7915716b41fe

    produces a compiler error when `Paritcle.variable()` is called with a `float`. Fixes #842

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Thanks!

Please downgrade arm-gcc to 4.9.x - the firmware build doesn’t support the latest 5.x series.
