intellisense / path issues

Hello -

I'm having trouble getting VS to find libraries and the Arduino installation under some conditions.

Setup: VS2015 on Win 7
Arduino version 1.8.8 installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\

Sketchbook location: ....bunch of path \arduino\
Library location: ....bunch of path \arduino\libraries

I've created a simple HardwareSerial pass through class called SerialControl, and located it in ....\arduino\libraries. It shows up with I try to add it via the "user installed" option on the vMicro->Add Library menu.

If I add the source files (SerialControl.cpp, SerialControl.h) to a project directly, everything works.


If I add the library to a project via the menu approach, Intellisense won't be able to find "Arduino.h" from the class files.

Hi,

This information is in the readme.txt that is in the SerialControl project

Adding from the menu creates a "c++ shared project" because you have ticked the option for that to happen.

You are reporting that intellisense is failing in your shared project. This is most likely because you have not added a references from the Arduino project to the "Shared project". VS needs the reference for intellisense.

In the Arduino project, right click "References" and you will see the "Shared Project" tab. You will see that you can enable the shared project by clicking the checkbox next to the shared project name (SerialControl)
