How to setup Arduino .pde sketch files for visual studio intellisense

by Visual Micro 11. April 2010 00:30

There are two settings to apply when configuring an arduino sketch to be recognized in visual studio as a c++ file. Both settings are accessed in visual studio via tools>options

Register pde (sketch) as a C++ file allowing both intellisense and code formatting to be displayed/applied

We can use different arduino engines to power our visual studio addin. However, please use the arduino 0022 engine until we have an arduino 1.0 solution.

The new version of Arduino for Visual Studio includes initial suport for the new arduino .ino file extension. You can not yet compile for arduino 1.0 but you can compile sketches containg a mix of .pde and .ino sketches.

Multiple sketch projects and windows projects can co-exist in a single solution. Fully integrated. F5 Compile and upload (startup project). Build Project, Build Solution
