#Q Station C Demo

This is a litte Belleds Q Station demo program written in C. It connects your Belleds Q Station with your Adafruit.io interface. You can turn one of your bulbs on / off (for now). You need to add an on / off switch wich is connected to a feed named "qstation" in your Adafruit.io interaface.

##Instructions

Build System

1. Install build depencies (See https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/howto/buildroot.exigence for more information)

   sudo apt-get install git-core subversion mercurial build-essential libssl-dev libncurses5-dev unzip gawk

2. Clone OpenWRT from github (Do the following things as non root user!)

   git clone -b attitude_adjustment https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt.git

3. Enter OpenWRT dir

   cd openwrt

4. Update and install packages

   ./scripts/feeds update -a
   ./scripts/feeds install -a

5. Check prerequisites and prepare toolchain buidling (prereq will show you missing depencies)

   make defconfig
   make prereq
   make menuconfig

6. Now check the system and build toolchain options in menuconfig

   Target System: Atheros (AR7xx/AR9xx)
   [*] Build the OpenWRT based Toolchain
   

7. Build the toolchain (this will take up to three hours!)

   make V=99

8. Back to your user dir

   cd ..

9. Clone the source code from github with git

   git clone https://github.com/Mast3rChief/QStation_Demo.git

10. Enter QStation Demo dir

    cd QStation_Demo

11. Compile everything

    make main

12. Check file information of the compilied main program

    file main

13. The output should look something like this:

    main: ELF 32-bit MSB executable, MIPS, MIPS32 rel2 version 1...

Belleds Q Station

1. Copy the program to your QStation and create the config.ini with your Adafruit.io API key. For example download it from your webserver. We use the tmp dir for testing only!

   cd /tmp
   mkdir QStation_Demo
   cd QStation_Demo
   scp user@ip:/home/user/QStation_Demo/* .
   vim config.ini
   # press i for insert mode
   # paste your AIO API Key (No spaces)
   # press escape and :wq to exit vim

2. Run the program and have fun

   ./main MD1AC44200003128
