🛠️ Building

This project uses the cross platform builder platformio. So you will need to install that first.

The project contains multiple environments for each slave. The environments you can choose are:

• bp_ges: Backpack GES
• lll_ges: Left lower leg GES
• lul_ges: Left upper leg GES
• rll_ges: Right lower leg GES
• rul_ges: Right upper leg GES
• pdb: Power distribution board slave
• standalone_pdb: Power distribution board, which does not use ethercat

To build all of the projects you run:

$ pio run

This will build all the projects sequentially. When you want to build one specific environment only you can use the --environment (-e) option:

$ pio run -e <slave>

So, for example, to build the backpack GES you run pio run -e bp_ges. To actually upload the project, connect the the GES you would like to upload to and use the --target (-t) option.

$ pio run -e <slave> -t upload
