* When installed click 'the ant head' on the left and choose import the project on the right.
* Just open the folder and you can compile the Firmware.
## Configuration
### Configuration
* You can find all nessesary settings to change for your configuration in **data/is-cfg.json**.
* To upload it to your board you have to do this via **Upload File System image** in PlatformIO!
* To find the 'Upload File System image' click the PlatformIO symbol (the little alien) on the left side, choos your configuration, click on 'Platform' and search for 'Upload File System image'.
## Branches in this repository and version system
This Firmware is developed in a rolling release system: everyday a new release could be created. But there are still rules where new pull requests has to go and and how the version system looks like.
### Branches
There are 2 main branches:
* *master* and
* *develop*
The *master* branch has all releases and is the most stable one. With the different tags you can jump to different versions or if you take the most current master branch you will just get the last version. There will be no side releases which are branch of from master. If there is a bugfix version it will be done directly on the master branch and a tag will be generated with a new version.
The *develop* branch is used for new feature development. It will be also used to stabilize the current development to create a new stable version (merge request to *master* branch). **Again:** all new development (pull requests) has to go directly into the *develop* branch!
### Version system
If the *develop* branch is stable enough for a new release it will be merged with a pull request to the *master* branch and a new version will be generated.
The versions are based on this settings:
* major: the current year (2 digits)
* minor: the current week of the year
* patch: if there is a patch for an release, just increment the number, otherwise 0
*example*: a new release will be created on the 11/14/2020, this version numbers will be used:
* major: 20
* minor: 46
* patch: 0
so the version will be: 20.46.0
