*** [.pio\build\sodaq_explorer\src\main.cpp.o] Error 1

Incorrectly working:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <vector>

void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

The solution:

#include <vector>
#include <Arduino.h>


void setup() {
  // put your setup code here, to run once:
}

void loop() {
  // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
}

In the Arduino.h file are a number of overlapping functions that are in conflict with the include vector. The one in these errors were the min() and max() defines. Where the C++ compiler has an overloading of these functions and defaults to the defines. This creates a problem for when these try to create a template for further code.

The solution is to include the vector and other C++ files before the #include <Arduino.h>.
This could pose a issue when people start to code their project and overlook this. So maybe something for the wiki documentation or this issue in github. In the case that people have the same issue in the future.
