User Libraries

Hi all

I'm using VS2012 and VM 1.1404.01.

VM can't seem to locate the user libraries and I can't find an option/place to specify them. 

A project compiles fine in the Arduino 1.0.5 dev environment, but not in VS unless I cheat and copy the library into the core library location which, of course, is a "bad" thing to do.

I did try the suggestion of deleting the .h and importing via the VS menu item, but it is blank.

David

Hi David,

If you have your user libraries in a place other than "documents/arduino/libraries" then you can specify the sketchbook location in the same place your specify the ide location.  documents/arduino is the default sketchbook folder, user libraries are expected to be in a "libraries" folder below the sketchbook

Please see here http://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=First-steps.html

Thanks

Ah.

I just imported them via the Arduino IDE, which put them in Arduino/Libraries - ie at the same "level" as Arduino/Sketches. Then they appeared on the import menu in the Arduino IDE but not in VM. 

The problem was that I have my "Sketches" folder under "Arduino", but the sketchbook location in preferences was set to Arduino.

Fixed now.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
