Got people asking me how to compile this and although is not over complicated I will leave this Log entry to summarize. Questions:
- Can I use Arduino to install this Firmware?
A: Yes you can, but you will have to download the dependencies described in platformio.ini that are 5:
- https://github.com/Makuna/NeoPixelBus.git
- ArduinoJson
- https://github.com/schinken/SimpleTimer.git
This 3 you can find in Arduino library manager. But the other two are not listed and you should download them and place it in your library folder yourself
The best reply for 1. is that it would be a lot less work and a good time investment to install:
https://platformio.org/platformio-ide and use that to compile any Espressif projects in the future. Arduino library dependency is hard to grab and IMHO not the right way to keep your project libraries. The best is that each project contains his own library folder, than to keep a centralized library in a messy directory structure, and then when you customize a library you affect all projects using them. I strongly suggest to compile this using Platformio IDE.
Maybe it's possible also to make a 5 minutes video tutorial to clear any doubts.
