Hello all. I have about 6 months till my shop is built and I can start working on conversions and I'd like to learn more about the software for the open inverter and eventually build a UI for conversions based on the open source software Qt. I'm learning the QML C++ language for the UI, what language should I learn for understanding and working on the open inverter software?

The STM32CubeIDE is the way to go.
But there are probably other IDE's

Do you actually want to play with the software or do you "just" want to design a frontend and need to know the interface? In case of the latter look at the output of the "json" command. And look at inverter.js in the esp8266 project.
I use Code::Blocks IDE because it's less convoluted and just takes 1s to start. Lacks some features though, code completion ain't the best

Start with "just" building a front end, and then go from there. I'll look at what you suggested thanks!
