Project Setup

Software Requirements

The following software is required to build the project:

Windows

• Arduino installation with Teensyduino add-on

• Git for Windows (Bash)

• MinGW (make)

• Visual Studio 2017 (for Management UI builds)

• Qt 5 (for Management UI builds)

This project uses Makefile, however build tools and board files are copied from an Arduino/Teensyduino installation.

If needed, copy MinGW/bin/mingw32-make.exe to MinGW/bin/make.exe, as this documentation refers to the command as make.

Requirements to regenerate protobuf (nanopb) sources:

1. Download protoc binaries, fe.: https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf/releases/download/v3.11.4/protoc-3.11.4-win64.zip

2. Extract zip, fe. c:\share\protoc-3.11.4

3. Add protoc (fe., c:\share\protoc-3.11.4\bin) to PATH

Ubuntu 18.04

• Arduino installation with Teensyduino add-on
• apt install build-essential

• Qt 5 (for Management UI builds)

This project uses Makefile, however build tools and board files are copied from an Arduino/Teensyduino installation.

Requirements to regenerate protobuf (nanopb) sources:

• apt install protobuf libprotobuf-dev python-protobuf

To communicate with the Teensy hardware as a non-root user, install the Teensy udev rule:

sudo cp teensy_fan_controller/tools/49-teensy.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/

Fetching sources

Use git to clone the root project (TeensyFanController).

You must initialize and pull the git sub-modules/sub-repositories:

git clone https://github.com/mstrthealias/TeensyFanController.git
git submodule init
git submodule update

Use the ui_qt5 sub-directory underneath the root project directory for Management UI builds.

Setup project build environment

Change directory to the project root, and use Makefile:

cd TeensyFanController
ARDUINO_DIR=/opt/Arduino make

Root Make targets:

• make alias for make setup

• make setup alias for make clean setup-toolchain setup-libs setup-nanopb protos

• make setup-toolchain copy toolchain and Teensy3 cores from Teensyduino into project
• make setup-libs copy Teensyduino libraries into project
• make setup-nanopb copy nanopb into project libraries
• make protos alias for make runtime_config_v1.pb.c

• make runtime_config_v1.pb.c generate RuntimeConfigV1 protobuf sources

• make clean alias for make clean-build clean-setup

• make clean-build delete builds produced by teensy_fan_controller/Makefile

• make clean-setup delete files produced by this Makefile
