Add Libraries to VMicro (Read 2110 times)

	Hey guys, I am using Visual Studio 2017 and have just installed VMicro. In VMicro --> Ide --> <Configure IDE Locations> I have entered both the location of my Arduino IDE and the location of the Project that I am working on (in this directory, there is an additional Libraries folder). When I compile my program I get the error message shown in the second figure. So, apparently the WiFi101.h library cannot be found. What might be the issue? How can I solve this ? I was thinking: Maybe Add Library --> Download and Install Arduino Library. But everything I have tried out here so far, didn't solve the issue.

	You should clear the optional sketch book folder and not enter a path into that field. Are you new to arduino?

	yeah, I'm new to Arduino. I have tried to leave the optional sketchbook location empty, as you suggested, but I get a different error then (see first figure). Now, the user-defined library Logging.h can no longer be found. I have a directory named "libraries" in the directory specified by the optional sketchbook location. IN this directory, there is another directory named "Logging". I have now set the optional sketchbook location once again. And I have tried to install the WiFi101.h library. I went to the "Add Library"-drop down, "Download and install Arduino library", "Manage Libraries", and then (since nothing happened in this manager) I clicked "Install a library from a zip" (see second figure) to install this library, that I found on the internet: https://github.com/arduino-libraries/WiFi101/tree/master/src Well. I think that was a mistake. I have no idea where this library got installed now, so I cannot delete it again. I get multiple errors of the form "redefinition of class WiFiClient" etc. Sorry, I'm a little lost atm.

	Leave the sketchbook empty so you are using standard arduino config. The standard location for the arduino sketchbook is mydocument\arduino. Put your library below \ folder called \Libraries under the sketchbook location. Open the arduino ide and attempt to build a simple project using the library, After a short time using the arduino ide you will have proven your configuration. Then use start visual studio and use visual micro. We always recommended using the standard arduino ide first.
