+   docker build -t particle-cloud-compiler .

+
+2. Run the compiler with the example input:
+   ```bash
+   docker run --rm \
+       -v $(pwd)/example_input:/workspace/input:ro \
+       -v $(pwd)/example_output:/workspace/output \
+       particle-cloud-compiler
+   ```
+
+3. Check the output:
+   ```bash
+   ls -la example_output/
+   ```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Build fails with "platform not found"
+Run `pio platform install particle` inside the container or rebuild the image.
+
+### Permission denied errors
+Ensure the output directory is writable by the Docker user.
+
+### No firmware.bin generated
+Check the build.log for compilation errors. Common issues include missing libraries or syntax errors in the sketch.

+# Particle Cloud Compiler Docker Image
+
+This Docker image provides a cloud-based compilation environment for Particle firmware sketches. It uses PlatformIO to compile sketches for Particle devices (Photon, Core, etc.) and outputs the compiled binary and build log.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Docker installed on your system
+- Basic familiarity with Docker commands
+
+## Building the Image

+# Particle Cloud Compiler Script
+#
+# This script compiles a Particle firmware sketch using PlatformIO.
+# It takes an input directory containing the sketch and libraries,
+# and outputs a .bin file and build log to the output directory.
+#
+# Usage: compile.sh <input_dir> <output_dir> [platform]
+#
+# Arguments:
+#   input_dir  - Directory containing the sketch (must contain platformio.ini and src/)
+#   output_dir - Directory where output files will be written
+#   platform   - Target platform (photon, core, etc.) - optional, defaults to photon
+#
+# Outputs:
+#   output_dir/firmware.bin  - Compiled firmware binary
+#   output_dir/build.log     - Build log
+#
+
