	To be able to save the board, port and other info for intellisense you need a project. A project is basically just an xml file that contains all the settings. Some IDEs create a json file, atmel and visual studio create a .cppproj or .vcxproj instead. You can create and arduino project using the vmicro menu or file>new>project menu. When you use an arduino project you can leave the .ino file empty and use project_name.cpp if you want to override the app. Or you can put a main.cpp in your project and do whatever you want without the arduino code constraints.
