pio-run: Run the targets of a specified configuration file.
$ pio run --project-conf ${path-to-platformio-ini}
try on your machine

The command "pio run --project-conf ${path-to-platformio-ini}" is used in the PlatformIO environment to build and compile a project using a specific PlatformIO configuration file.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • "pio run": This is the main command that triggers the build and compilation process for a project in PlatformIO. It compiles the source code, resolves dependencies, and produces the final binary file that can be uploaded to a microcontroller or similar device.

  • "--project-conf": This option specifies that we want to use a project-specific configuration file. The configuration file is usually named "platformio.ini" and resides in the root directory of the project.

  • "${path-to-platformio-ini}": This variable represents the path to the "platformio.ini" file. You need to replace "${path-to-platformio-ini}" with the actual path on your system. This is the file that contains various project-specific settings, such as platform selection, board settings, build flags, etc.

By specifying the path to the "platformio.ini" file, you are telling PlatformIO to use that specific configuration when building and compiling the project.

Overall, this command helps you build and compile a project in PlatformIO, while utilizing a specific project configuration file.
