Linkit Duoand T.-Watch 2020
Christian Paulsen:
I just started the UECIDE and think it is awesome. I could install some important libraries and boards, I need. But I didn't find how install a Linkit Duo board and the TTGO-T-Watch 2020. Has anybody an idea?
matt:
I think the "2020" watch is exactly the same as the non-2020 but with a much smaller and compact design. Just use the ttgo-t-watch board in the plugin manager.
Christian Paulsen:
Do you also hava an idea for the Linkit Duo
matt:
I haven't seen the Linkit Duo, but it says it's compatible with the Yun. Have you tried using the normal Yun board defs?
Christian Paulsen:
Jes, it uses also the bridge lib, etc, but in the Arduino IDE I had to add the Linkit Duo board in the preferences
matt:
I'm not sure where it gets that from. It doesn't exist in the seeeduino json file - that only has SAMD boards by the look of it.
matt:
Did you use a specific URL for the json file to get it to exist, or was it already there?
Christian Paulsen:
I used a special URL for the json file. I just look for it, but I chasnged my Linux distribution, I just have to look for it.
matt:
I think I've found it
matt:
Looks like a single board variant in the zip file. That shouldn't be too hard to port.

Thanks for that
Christian Paulsen:
But nevertheless. Is there a similar possibility like in the Arduino IDE for users like me to add some not listed boar4ds to the UECIDE?
matt:
Only if you get to know the internals of UECIDE at the moment. I am planning to have the option of using arduino-cli for the compilation and board management backend (along with a planned uecide-cli and edf.py and other compilation systems), which will give you instant access to all the possible boards you could imagine without me having to specifically port them,
matt:
For a basic board like this it's really just a matter of creating a board.txt file to go along with the pins_arduino.h file. I have a script that does most of the work for me for Arduino boards.

If you could that for me , I would be very pleased.Later on I like to be more involved into the internals. As I have seen, installing the deb-file , UECIDE is based on JAVA, so it could be great to use it together with a GROOVY DSL, I like to write for Arduino-Development.
matt:
Ok, I think I have ported it. You should find it in the plugin manager (Boards/MediaTek/AVR/LinkIt Smart 7688 Duo) though I have no idea if it actually works. If you can try it out and let me know how it goes that'd be great.
Christian Paulsen:
Thank you! Thats great.
Christian Paulsen:
I try it. But I need a little time for that.
matt:
That's ok. I'm always here ;)
matt:
You should be able to find that library in the plugin manager - Libraries/Display/Grove - OLED Display 0.96
matt:
But it seems it doesn't like it... hold on
matt:
I suspect it's the name of the library that it doesn't like.
matt:
Yeah, it doesn't like the name of the folder once installed. All those strange symbols and things.
Christian Paulsen:
OK Thank you
matt:
You may need to uninstall the plugin manager version if you installed it.
Christian Paulsen:
I did all that, just didn't know I had to do step 4
OK
matt:
Yeah, it's a problem with the library support code at the moment. I'm addressing it in active development at the moment.
