Compilation error: AnalogWrite.h: No such file or directory

[sjhitchner]

Not sure this project is still supported. I discovered ConfigurableFirmata from Gobots.io.

I attempted to use the Firmata Builder today with the following configuration:

• ESP8266 device
• WIFI with WPA
• TCP Client
• DigitalInputFirmata
• DigitalOutputFirmata
• AnalogInputFirmata
• AnalogOutputFirmata

I have installed version 3.2.0 of the ConfigurableFirmata library.

Hi @sjhitchner

Yea, unfortunately I have not updated firmatabuilder to support the changes made for ConfigurableFirmata 3.X. But you should be able to get away without it. Just load the example ino at examples/ConfigurableFirmata/ConfigurableFirmata.ino into the Arduino IDE and make the required adjustments to the modules you want (they're all listed at the top of the file). If you've installed the library via the library manager, the example should be available under the "File/Examples" menu of the IDE.

The only thing that might not work out of the box is the Wifi communication, as I've not tested it with ESP8266. It is tested with ESP32, so the adjustments shouldn't be that big. For a quick start, you can test everything with the USB connection as well.

Thanks for your response, I'll try again later this week.
