So I’ve downloaded Visual Studio plus and I’ve managed to compile it. I’m using the beta as the board I’m using is the wt32-eth01 ethernet… So after searching for hours and watching various videos. I’m confused and lost. So is there a good video that shows you how to enable user mods? Could some…

Most usermods include instructions how to enable them. Usually in source or readme file. For the most oftenused usermods there are #defines or -D USERMOD_xxxxxx build environment settings. @Quindor did a nice video on self compiling WLED couple of years ago (intermittech).

I watched @Quindor video. But the npch file no longer seems to exist where he configured things. Also with Ethernet boards within wled you can select which you have. I can’t find where in the compile it pulls this from… Can you add different boards into that new drop down menu? There seems to be …

I found the easiest way for me was to have a look in platform.ini at the various [env: …] sections. Adding another section with the usermods I wanted and then updating the default_envs line achieved what i was after.

Indeed I am pressing WLED development further and a lot has changed since that December. :smiley: If you want to join Discord, I have posted a few of my development build environment for anyone interested.

Could you give me an example or tell me what I’m doing wrong. I want to enable user mod “Enclosure_with_OLED_temp_ESP07” I think this is a version 1? So simply modified the usermod and copy/past/replace - wont compile. So tried a version 2… went to user mods list… uncommented a line… #ifdef USER…

For most used usermods a simple -D USERMOD_xxxxx in platformio.ini (or override) build_flags will suffice, for others you need to check readme.md or contact usermod creator.

Thanks @blazoncek I rolled back to version as well and I had more success. Could you confirm I’m doing this correctly and that this is the correct place to assign a pin? I also notice that I can LED=1… How do I enter P14 and pin 15 and pin 2? … [env:esp32_eth] board = esp32-poe platform = ${esp…

I do not know what you want to achieve, but defining -D TEMPERATURE_PIN=-4 is counterproductive.

I want to define which pin is used for the temp sensor…
