Compilation error nrf52_dk plateformio

[Ikes 72000]

Hello,

I'm new to mysensors and trying to test some nrf52832 cards.
Currently I am able to communicate and load a basic program into the nrf52 card via a BMP.

Basic code:

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Where can the problem come from?

Thanks.

Welcome to the forum @Ikes-72000

No forward link or gateway feature activated. This means nowhere to send messages! Pretty pointless.

This message means that the sketch is configured as a node (not a gateway), but no transport is selected. Without a transport, a MySensors node can't do much.

If you just want to try the most basic nrf5, add

#define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL

to the sketch, before including MySensors.h.

[Ikes 72000]

I just tried this code and compilation fail.

#define MY_GATEWAY_SERIAL
#include <MySensors.h>

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

Why does it list this Time library as a dependency? This shouldn't be here. Did you, at some point, include it in lib_deps? Because your current issue seems to be related to this lib, not MySensors. Without it, it should compile just fine.

Try pio lib uninstall Time or remove it manually from the libdeps folder and rebuild the sketch.

[Ikes 72000]

@BearWithBeard, compilation works fine after remove time lib. Thanks.

Now I can play with mysensors.
