With the arduino IDE my projects with 6 ino-file work fine, no errors, etc.
With VS2015 and VisualMicro I get a couple of "'xxx' was not declared in this scope".
How to fix these errors

Best Regards Uwe

Hi Tim

not the re-opening, but the rest solved my problem.

Thanks Uwe

I just looked at this and have a question...

Visual Micro Commands

If you open an existing arduino sketch using "file>open>arduino project" the .ino files are automatically created in a visual studio project.

If you subsequently manually copy .ino files to the project folder and use "file>open>arduino project" the new files are detect and added to the project.

Visual Studio Standard Commands

If you use the standard visual studio commands to open an existing solution(.sln) or project(.vxcproj) then any missing .ino files must be manually included in the project.

Question

Can you please walk me through how you created the project and how/when the additional .ino files were added to the folder.

Thanks very much

Thanks for the info.

Up until last year Arduino was the same. They put in a  new system to cater for this which hasn't been implemented in visual micro yet because it makes debugging more difficult.

The issue is because the #include "arduino.h" and function prototypes have to be added by visual micro in background during compilation and the insert position is deduced from the first line of code (not #defines)


#include <N2kCANMsg.h>
#include <ActisenseReader.h>
#include <LiquidCrystal.h>
#include <LCDMenuLib.h>

#define xyz 10

//
//function prototypes go here
//

const int ledBuiltin = LED_BUILTIN;
const int ledFront   = 21;    // front LED

If you switch on "vMicro>Compiler>Show build folder" you will see the build folder and the project_name.cpp (all the ino files) that contains additional arduino code inserted into it.

This is due to be addressed shortly but everything else it working well at the moment and it will be an upheaval
