When creating a library project for anything past arduino ide 2.0 , both the .cpp and .h files need to be in the same place (Root directory of library) or other libraries included in the library project will not resolve. The extension needs to autodetect the version of the arduino IDE and work accordingly when creating the library project. Thanks

Sorry we missed this post.

There are two formats for Arduino libraries. Old and new, v1 and v2.

The v1 libraries have source code in the library root + a \utilities sub folder for private library code.

The v2 libraries must have a library.properties text file in the root. The source code in an \src sub folder. There can also be an unlimited number of sub folders to any depth below the src.

The contents of the library.properties should match the arduino library specification.

Both Visual Micro and Arduino work with both types. However, only v2 format libraries can be used as Visual Micro shared library projects (outside of the std arduino library locations).

The Arduino v2 library format has nothing to do with Arduino 2.0, the v2 format has existed for many years.

During compilation, v1 libraries will have a -I include path of the "libraryRoot". v2 will have a -I include of the "libraryRoot\src".

Does this make sense?
