Adding support for PlatformIO ESP8266 board using the Arduino framework

[omar-bb]

Dear Daniel,

Can we have PlatformIO ESP8266 ESP-01 512K board using the Arduino framework support

The actual library doesn't support this kind of compiler it is really sad because this lib can be really useful for esp users

Thanks for doing such an amazing work!

I don't know how to go about that, as I don't have an Arduino environment for testing.

Hey sorry for the late response, I think that there is some Arduino emulator out there, but you can use platformio to compile your code without uploading it to an actual board. you can also look at the ArduinoJson repo to get an overview on how it works, it's just a matter of optimization and compatibility

Okay, I've installed platformio, and will have a look. Could take a while!

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me, I wish you good luck and I will help you if necessary!

Let's keep this one open, until it's resolved one way or the other.

Hello Daniel,

have you had time to look at this request? I would really like to have your library on the ESP8266 (Azdelivery NodeMcu) for my connected greenhouse project :)

Thx

No, sorry. Right now, the only thing I could offer is that if you make the attempt and identify specific compilation errors with the existing code, I could look at workarounds.
