XIAO ESP32C6 in PlatformIO

Products & Technology XIAO
1

There’s a tutorial on using the Xiao ESP32-C6 on PlatformIO in the Wiki. However there is another approach that some might find easier: pioarduino which is a fork of platform-espressif32 by Jason2866. Just use

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32.git#develop
board = seeed_xiao_esp32c6

in platformio.ini.

All the sketches in sigmdel/xiao_esp32c6_sketches can be compiled with the develop branch of the pioarduino fork. They can also be compiled with the stable branch if the seeed_xiao_esp32c6.json board definition file is added in a local directory.

Many thanks to Jason2866 for all that work.

Hi there,

So it is telling you what the issue is… WHere is the file? find it and move it to SRC or explicitly set the location.
