It's crucial that you provide full verbose debug output, attached or via links to sites like http://gist.github.com/ or http://pastebin.com/
If you're using the Arduino IDE:
- turn on verbose compilation from "File > Preferences" dialog
- copy the full command line
- add parameter
-debug-level=10
before the sketch path - manually re-run the builder in a terminal or command prompt
If you are using this tool from the command line, ensure you have specified both -verbose
and -debug-level=10
We are glad you want to contribute with code: that's the best way to help this software.
Your contribution is adding or modifying existing behaviour. We are used to Test Driven Development: please add one or more tests that prove that your contribution is good and is working as expected.
Be sure to run the provided fmt_fix_vet
script before each commit: it ensures your code is properly formatted.
Also, for your contribution to be accepted, everyone of your commits must be "Signed-off". This is done by commiting using this command: git commit --signoff
By signing off your commits, you agree to the following agreement, also known as Developer Certificate of Origin: it assures everyone that the code you're submitting is yours or that you have rights to submit it.
