Why not make it compatible with Arduino? #8

Closed EUA closed 2 years ago

EUA commented 2 years ago

I am using Linux. I have arduino. I don't know why it requires VisualStudio etc. Arduino could also program SPIFF partition. I wish someone could convert it to arduino and we could use this...

Traditional Arduinos are simply too slow to handle this. They are mostly based on 8-Bit processors. Unless you mean those newer fancier boards, but it probably needs a major rewrite of this repo due to incompatible libraries. The bluetooth calls, for instance, on the Arduino platform may be different on the esp one or vice-versa.

First things would probably abstract all the calls first to make it compabible "universally", but even this would require a rewrite of a lot of stuff.

I don't think it's feasible for now.
