RelayTesterRaspberry

This project uses Qt. To compile with vscode, use the following extensions:

• C/C++ extension pack
• Qt C++ extension pack
• Qt extension pack
• cmake

Register Qt installation using command (F1):

Qt: register

and point toward qmake folder

For each sub-library, follow the specific instructions for your platform

install Qt5:

• use online installation, it will add Qt6 only
• launch qt maintenance tool. There you can select older version. Select latest Qt5
• register qt installation as Qt5

Project can now be built and debug using cmake

A parallel unit-test project is available in unit-tests/ to keep test builds isolated from the main application build.

Build and run on Windows:

cmake --preset windows-debug-with-tests
cmake --build --preset windows-debug-unit-tests
ctest --preset windows-debug-unit-tests

You can still use the standalone folder presets from unit-tests/ when needed.

Build and run on Raspberry Pi:

cd unit-tests
cmake --preset raspi-native
cmake --build --preset raspi-native
ctest --preset raspi-native

Raspberry must be bookworm 32bits. As of june 2026, the picolog ADC24 library is not working on Trixie or later and is not compatible with 64 bits.

• install libs:

sudo apt install qtcreator build-essential qtbase5-dev cmake

• in vscode, register qt kit. Path is usually /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmake

• select the qt5 kit with cmake command (F1):

cmake: select a kit

Project can now be built and debug using cmake

A script was made to cross compile the code for raspberry from a widows machine and send it to raspberry. So far, no debugging is possible from remote windows. It uses bash scripts and docker.

• install and configure docker
• enable ssh on raspberry
• create an ssh key and send it to raspberry. It will be used for sending the file and configuration via ssh/scp:

ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa -N ""
ssh-copy-id -i ~/.ssh/id_rsa -p 22 pi@192.168.1.11

Change the file name and pi's address according to your configuration

• copy rpi-deploy.env.example to .vscode/rpi-deploy.env and fill with correct connexion information

To build and deploy, execute "Build + Deploy relayTester to Raspberry Pi" from launch tab. A folder "Relay tester" in home folder will be created containing the new executable. You can execute it from raspberry.
