Export a Project for free Arduino IDE build

Hi

Just to say Visual Micro Arduino IDE is brilliant. Saves so much time developing compared to the limited free Arduino IDE.

So this question may seem backward...

Is there an automated way to reverse a finished project out of the Visual Micro environment back to the free Arduino IDE environment. So that I can give the project to others to Build who won't have access to Visual Studio or the Visual Micro extension. 

I know I could do this manually, setting up the paths the VS/VM environment determines automatically, but is there a  more automated way to exporting the project into a format that will build within the free Arduino IDE?

Thanks

SKC

Thanks for the feedback.

If you Enable the vMicro > Compiler > Always Export Sources as ZIP option, then a ZIP file will be created each build, containing all source files.

This should then open and build in the Arduino IDE as expected.

That almost works. I have followed the C++ convention of using #include <> for library routines and #include "" for local or shared code projects (as they all end up in the same folder at build time). The <> brackets are causing a bit of a problem.

I guess this comes down to understanding the free Arduino IDE's convention of folder referencing, and is not a VM problem.

Any suggestions?
