Pebble SDK Vagrant machine

This repo allows to install a functional Pebble SDK in a Vagrant (more about Vagrant) Ubuntu Linux virtual machine.
Once installed it will be possible to develop Pebble applications written in C or Javascript and send them to your smartwatch.

Prerequisites for Vagrant

• Oracle VirtualBox - How to install
• Vagrant - How to install

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ltpitt/vagrant-pebble-sdk.git
cd vagrant-pebble-sdk
vagrant up
vagrant ssh

How to use

The VM is configured to automatically switch to ubuntu user when you connect. Always be sure that you are using the ubuntu user in the local machine, otherwise the Pebble SDK will not work.

In case your user is not switched automatically to the ubuntu user you can do it manually with this command:
sudo su - ubuntu

To create a new Pebble project:
pebble new-project yourprojectname

To build a project enter its folder and use:
pebble build

If you want to create a PebbleJs project you can use the pebblejs template folder available in /home/ubuntu/pebblejs

All you need to do is customize:
/home/ubuntu/pebblejs/appinfo.json
and write your code in:
/home/ubuntu/pebblejs/src/js/app.js

Learning Material

In the repo you will also find learning-c-with-pebble.pdf and pebble-development-with-javascript.pdf.
learning-c-with-pebble.pdf will help not only to learn writing apps for Pebble but also a good foundation of the C language.
I downloaded the pdf from the gitbook page here:
https://legacy.gitbook.com/book/pebble/learning-c-with-pebble/details

The pebble-development-with-javascript.pdf is just a simple introduction about how to write an app with Javascript on Pebble thanks to PebbleJS.
pebble-development-with-javascript.pdf is just a good tutorial I've found and saved as pdf. Original tutorial is available here:
https://www.sitepoint.com/pebble-watch-development-javascript/
