banzo / HiGrow

yet an alternative software for the HiGrow sensor board

Higrow software

Adapted from https://github.com/eXtgmA/HiGrow/ with following changes:

• change code structure for Platform.io instead of Android IDE
• return json instead of html
• disabled mqtt and bluetoot stuff
• disabled the deep sleep features because deprecated (also it seems the device does not work well on battery)
• moved SSID and password to separate file secrets.h

Quick Start

• Install platform.io
• pio lib install
• copy include/secrets.h.sample to secrets.h and fill in your wifi credentials
• flash the device:
  • adapt platform.io config, e.g. set upload_port
  • build and upload (on arch, no need to press a button or anything)
