Arduino experiments on LED, IR, UART, MIDI, CV, Synth, using PlatformIO and VisualStudio Code
I use PlatformIO and VS code with the Arduino framework under Windows 10. All examples are part of a single PlatformIO workspace. It should also be possible to open the individual examples/folders directly in the Arduino IDE.
To make Intellisense work, I explicitely include "Arduino.h".
My platformio.ini files support the Arduino-style folder structure. Here is an example from the Blink example:
[platformio]
src_dir = .
[env:uno]
platform = atmelavr
board = uno
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200
I use some environment variables for global folders, instead of defining them in every ini file:
| ENV variable | path |
|---|---|
| PLATFORMIO_LIB_EXTRA_DIRS | e.g. c:\pio\extra_libs |
| PLATFORMIO_BUILD_DIR | e.g. c:\temp\pio_build |
| PLATFORMIO_LIBDEPS_DIR | e.g. c:\temp\pio_libs |
Alternatively, one could set those directories directly in the platformio.ini file:
lib_extra_dirs = c:\pio\extra_libs
build_dir = c:\temp\pio_build
libdeps_dir = c:\temp\pio_libs
