Read this official Leafony page and explain its key points in English. For hardware help, first ask for a photo or the installed leaf models, assembly and power sources, then the goal and tools. Clarify which LED or display changed and whether a cable or leaf was replaced. Do not equate an unseen reset button with an absent one, or I2C acknowledgement with a working display. Verify specifications against sources; distinguish observations from hypotheses. Follow a redirect to its destination; if unreadable, ask for the relevant text instead of guessing.

Match the leaf configuration and development tool, then check the build → upload → execution result in order. This makes it easier to find where a problem starts. Choose a purpose or CPU from the example catalog and check the required items in the article.

1. Match your hardware

Check the processor model number. Even examples using the same temperature and humidity sensor need different board selections and upload procedures for AVR, STM32, and ESP32.
Gather the leaves and additional parts. Check the model numbers, power supply, antenna, SIM, and other requirements in the article, as well as the kit name. Turn off the power before assembling, attaching, or removing leaves.
Choose the development tool. Open Arduino IDE sketches, PlatformIO projects, and STM32CubeIDE projects using their respective procedures. Start with your CPU under Development environment.

2. Obtain the source and libraries

Use the article’s source link to obtain all files required by the example. A sample with multiple files needs its headers and configuration files as well as the main .ino or main.cpp.

Development tool	What to open and check
Arduino IDE	The sketch folder and `.ino` file. Install the libraries and board package specified in the article
PlatformIO	The project folder containing `platformio.ini`. Check `board`, `lib_deps`, and the upload destination
STM32CubeIDE	The project folder containing `.project` and `.cproject`. Obtain `Core`, `Drivers`, and the other project files together

GitHub links to main or master can change as the source is updated. Use a complete set from the same revision instead of mixing old and new files. Keep a copy of a previously working project before updating it so you can compare the changes.

Libraries with similar names may be different implementations. Use the source specified in the article and check its CPU and Arduino Core requirements. For STM32, for example, see RTC and low-power library compatibility with the Core.

3. Check three stages

Stage	Success check	If it stops here
Build	Compilation completes without errors	Read the first error and check the board, CPU, and required libraries
Upload	The development tool reports a successful upload	Check the USB cable, port, power supply, and program switch
Execution	You obtain the LED pattern, serial output, received data, or other result described in the article	Check the switch to run mode, reset, wiring, and communication destination

A successful build or upload is a separate check from successful operation. For communication examples, check the receiver or saved data as well as the transmitter log. Sensor values depend on the surroundings: check that readings are obtained and respond to changes, rather than expecting the same numbers as the screenshot.

4. If it does not work

Start with the article’s troubleshooting section and the FAQ. When contacting support, include the leaves, development tool, sample URL, stage reached, and first error. Do not send passwords, tokens, or SIM identifiers.
