Visual Studio setup

[masydoblig]

Hi Peter

Just installed Visual studio community and reading through the developer notes

is there anything in particular i need to setup to test compile??

ps you really should set up a donation box for your project so we can help you back

Cheers Sam

The developer notes are pretty old (assuming you're referring to these pages), I'll have a look at them tomorrow to see if anything changed significantly. I do all of my development in Visual Studio Code, not Visual Studio Community edition. You could probably get it to work with any editor/IDE, it's just a standard CMake project, after all, but the build tasks etc. are all for VSCode specifically.

I highly doubt that it'll work with the MSVC compilers, though. All development and testing is done using GCC and Clang, and all Arduino Cores use GCC as well.

I've been procrastinating setting up a donation system mostly because that would implicitly create an obligation to maintain this project more actively, which wouldn't be beneficial for my studies. On the other hand, I'm already investing quite a bit of time in it anyway, so I'll probably create one when I find the time.
