Correct the "W" has wifi.

I found another easy way to get into the pi zero without having to have a screen or keyboard.

After you burned the SSD card you open the boot partition with windows explorer. Add an empty file call ssh to that partition and boot. Find the ip with Angry Ip Scanner. Username - pi; password - raspberry.

Thanks

I looked at the build system and it is using the "Intermediate Directory" not the "Output Directory"

Why Intermediate: This is because visual studio defaults the output directory to "solution folder/release" or "solution folder/debug", which means that multiple projects would try to use the same output directory by default.

I looked at that but it puts a whole lot of stuff, probably the whole build, at the intermediate directory.

Install the latest from the link in the first post. It exports to the Output Directory just the one file.

Must I make changes to my project. It does not compile anymore. I have local libraries in my project.

Code (C++)
Select All
ZetaRF.cpp: 1523:26: error: no matching function for call to 'SPIClass::transfer(uint8_t*&, uint8_t&)
   SPI.transfer(data, count)

ZetaRF.cpp:18: In file included from
SPI.h:64: note  candidate  static uint8_t SPIClass  transfer(uint8_t)
   static uint8_t transfer(uint8_t data)
   ^~~~~~~~
SPI.h:64: note    candidate expects 1 argument, 2 provided


SPI is a local library as it is special for the zero

No you should never have to make changes.

The ability to override libraries using local source code was a new feature but caused some breakages. So it's now an option on the vMicro>Compiler menu.

Ok that makes sense. It works fine now.
Any reason why they chose such a ridiculous file name for the binary?

Yes it's the name of the variant in the boards.txt. If you switch on vmicro>compiler>verbose you should see the savehex.pattern= uses it.


Question

The facility to override local library source files. Do you think it should be on or off by default. My initial instinct was ON because that is what the arduino ide (in more recent versions) does. However it's been off for years.

Info

Did you know you can put libraries in the core of each board and they take preference over sketchbook/libraries?
Did you know you can add entire libraries in the project below "_micro-api\libraries". They will be treated as libraries but can be more easily checked into source control with the project.

My opinion is that it should be on as it would not make any difference to the user if they do not use local libraries but as soon as you copy a library to your local directory it does what is expected.

I have done that on occasion with the SAMD21.

Did not know that. Very handy thanks.

I tried the libraries in the _micro-api\libraries directory. It was first installed in project/src/libraries and worked.
This is the erroes I get now from the new location.

P.S.
I deleted the VS/VM files and directories completely and started fresh

Code
Select All

Sorry forgot to let you know there was a clash between the new menu option "compiler>local files override lib files" and the local library functionality.

That was resolved in the work in progress download
