Bit questions

#1

I have a couple of questions about the Bit, firstly, if building the Bit firmware from source, how do you then flash it to the Bit?

Second question is will there be made available the necessary PlatformIO packages for the Bit soon?

Been having some fun with my kids making stuff in the web system, but I’d like to try something a bit more ambitious and with a nicer IDE.

Thanks.

Hey @asimilon,

thank you for your questions.

If you want to make changes to it, you must first download it and then change it as needed.
When you’re ready to compile your changes, open the Bit-Firmware.ino file in the Arduino IDE and select CircuitMess Bit as your device.

After you do that, you should be able to compile and upload the change from Arduino IDE.

Unfortunately, we won’t be making new PlatformIO packages in the near future.

Best,
Monika

I cannot now find the bit firmware on the platofmr io packages.

Hi @Petar,

thank you for reaching out to us. As @Monika_Tomljanovic mentioned, unfortunately, we won’t be making new PlatformIO packages in the near future.

Best,
Sandi

Hello, I imported the json for the circuitmess devices in Arduino IDE board manager but It doesn’t list Bit at all. Therefore we cannot flash the firmware as you mentioned. Please check this and confirm if the fix can be made. Also, the Bit firmware is made for ESP-IDF. Thank you

where does the Bit-Firmware.ino file exist?
how we can select Bit as our device if it isn’t listed there?
