Source Code and Bug Tracking¶

Where do I get the Source Code?¶

If you don't know git, you can find information here. Our projects can be cloned with:

git clone git://github.com/Tinkerforge/PROJECT.git

Below is a list of the Tinkerforge project repositories and corresponding bug tracker.

Where and How do I report Bugs?¶

If you found a bug in one of the Tinkerforge projects, we would love if you could report it! First of all, you have to identify the correct repository for your problem:

Bugs that are specific to a Brick/Bricklet (e.g. a specific parameter of a function in a Brick/Bricklet does not work or there is a hardware bug on a Brick/Bricklet) and bugs in the Brick Daemon and Brick Viewer can be reported to the obviously belonging repository.

However, if the bug is in every Brick (e.g. Stack communication is erroneous or a bug in the USB communication) report to the Brick Library repository. If it is in every Bricklet (e.g. the timing of recurring events is wrong) report to the Bricklet Library repository. If it is in the API or the API Documentation (e.g. typo in the API of a Brick/Bricklet or wrong statement in the documentation of a Brick/Bricklet) report to the API Generator repository.

For us it is important that we can reproduce the bug you found. You should try to write anything in the bug report that is needed to reproduce your scenario. This includes code snippets that crash something, the setup of your hardware project or instructions how you connected Bricks and Bricklets.
