	I'm just wondering if its possible to have an ESP32 project that also has windows as the target platform ? Obviously the ardunio code isnt going to build on windows, but this can be dealt with in code IE #if TARGET_WINDOWS SomeObject = new WindowsThing(); #else if TARGET_ ARDUNIO SomeObject = new ArdunioThing(); #endif This would allow creating most of the logic for a project in an environment that allows "full" debugging. Alternatively are there any better debugging options ? Whilst the bps that are provided are certainly helpful being able to inspect variables at a breakpoint w/o needing to compile to do so would be great.

	Yes you can write library projects as Shared Projects, which allows you to take advantage of the Unit Testing and Debugging features, when its included in a separate Windows Target project. The Hardware Debugging options in Visual Micro allow breakpoints to be moved at runtime, with variable inspection, and stepping actions also available, however require an external probe for a majority of boards. To see a list of the differences in debugging the below table should help: https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=Arduino-gdb-Differences.htm... The documentation index has sections for Serial Debugging, and Hardware Debugging to show more detail about configuring it for your board: https://www.visualmicro.com/page/User-Guide.aspx?doc=index There is also an Instructable and Video about setting up a Shared Library Project, so it can be Unit tested on your PC, and incorporated into an Arduino Project: Instructable: https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-Shared-Project-PC-Debugging-and-Automated-...
