firmata/firmata-builder

A utility to generate an Arduino file from a selection of Firmata features.

firmata-builder's Issues

Update to use new ConfigurableFirmata library

The configurable branch was copied out of firmata/arduino to it's own repo. firmata-builder and associated instructions needs to be updated to reference the new ConfigurableFirmata repo. It also needs to be updated to not include 'utility' in the path.

EncoderFirmata was changed to 'FirmataEncoder' and now must be downloaded separately along with the Encoder library. These should be listed as dependencies in firmata-builder.

Update to configurable firmata 3.2

Hello can you please update the builder to version 3.2? I cant compile this for a mega2560 with ethernet shield and one wire sensors.
and I'm too stupid to write myself

Figure out scalable way to handle feature data

feature.js is collection of data for all of the current Firmata features for the configurable firmata architecture. Example of "features" are DigitalInput, DigitalOutput, AnalogInput, I2C, OneWire, etc. This collection will grow and needs to be easy for Firmata feature developers to add data for their new features to. What is the best way to accomplish this? A flat file as it currently is? A separate module for each feature (or a file for core features and separate file for each contributed feature (likely device-specific features), a database or something else?

The collection of features will also be used to populate the firmata builder UI (a selection of features and options that the users chooses to generate the Arduino .ino file).

Unable to install ConfigurableFirmata for esp8266 board

I bought this ESP8266 board from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/HiLetgo-Internet-Development-Wireless-Micropython/dp/B010O1G1ES/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517445512&sr=8-1&keywords=esp8266+wifi

I haven't been able to install Configurable Firmata which I built on http://firmatabuilder.com/. It fails with a compilation error:

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Add ethernet connection type

Currently ConfigurableFirmata supports serial or ethernet connection types. There are also two different ethernet implementation depending on the driver so both should be supported as options.

generated zip cannot be extracted on Windows 10

Selectig the options
Serial - 115200
DigitalOutputFirmata
FirmataScheduler
with name "Neck"
Created file Neck.zip
Inside the zip, there is a Neck.ino FOLDER, with no Neck.ino sketch

Compilation error: AnalogWrite.h: No such file or directory

Not sure this project is still supported. I discovered ConfigurableFirmata from Gobots.io.

I attempted to use the Firmata Builder today with the following configuration:

• ESP8266 device
• WIFI with WPA
• TCP Client
• DigitalInputFirmata
• DigitalOutputFirmata
• AnalogInputFirmata
• AnalogOutputFirmata

I have installed version 3.2.0 of the ConfigurableFirmata library.

Add board or architecture selection

User should be able to select either board or architecture. This will generate a Firmata sketch that properly supports the selected board. For many boards this would not make any specific changes, however for ATmega32u4 boards the serial port would be handled properly. It would be helpful in knowing if the selected board has enough memory to support all of the selected features and if not, warn the user. Also if conflicting features are selected (use the same HW timer for example) then the user could be warned of this as well.

An example of a board would be Leonardo, Uno, etc. This will be a long list.

An example of architecture would be ATmega32u4, ATmega328p, etc. This would be a shorter list, but fewer users may be aware of what microcontroller their board actually uses.

Perhaps the user facing list is a list of all supported boards, but internally compare architectures.

ENC28J60 boards are not guaranteed to work

I have an ethernet shield that uses an ENC28J60 controller. However I am not able to get it to work. I'm not sure if it's an issue in the particular shield (suspect) or in the UIPEthernet library.

If anyone has any luck with an ENC28J60-based shield or board, please report. If it turns out there are no solutions I will remove ENC28J60 from the controller selections.

Add unit tests for builder.js

Leaning towards mocha/chai/sinon since I'm familiar with them.

strategy for enforcing structure of data passed to builder.build

The data structure passed to builder.build(data) will need to be in a specific format. What is a good strategy to enforce this other than providing an example file to reference?
