Arduino Firmata standard no such file or directory (Read 3765 times)

	Hi, I like to compile and upload the Arduino example Firmata standard. I use Visual Studio 2015 with the Micro visual extension. I do not know how to load a Arduino example like Firmata standard What I did was to make a new project in Visual Studio by vMicro - New Arduino project Then I copied and paste the Firmata standard Ino file. Compiling gave me the error SoftwareSerial.h no such file or directory. So I went to the explorer window and choose Add existing item and selected the SoftwareSerial.h and .cpp file and see them in the explorer window. I even moved these SoftwareSerial files to the local project directory but still get the message that SoftwareSerial.h is not found. Capitals are correct. What am I doing wrong? By the way: compilation goes also wrong in the Arduino IDE (org version)

	Maybe just some Arduino knowledge missing but thanks for the clear report. You should always give the hardware you are using and ide version when making reports because different hardware can have different configuration. 1) use File>"Open>Arduino Project" to open an existing arduino ino and automatically have a project createdif one doesn't already exist 2) It's not possible to add code from libraries directly to your project. Simply use the vMicro menu to see how to add a library to a project. It will just add an #include to the .ino code. 3) The Micro explorer is useful to explorer libraries. It also gives an option to make a new cloned project from a library when you click the name. You can find most help for visual micro in the new users getting started guide in the docs
