Hi,
I have upgraded to windows to 11, because windows 7 was not working very well anymore. I have created a D drive where I want to place my project folder. These are the default paths...
Arduino project folder
C:\Users\User\Documents\Arduino
Visual Studio project folder
C:\Users\User\source\repos
Now how do I setup the project folder location to the data drive? In the past I did it like this...
Visual Studio project folder
D:\Documents\Software\Code\VisualStudio\2022
Arduino project folder
D:\Documents\Software\Code\VisualStudio\2022\Arduino
Arduino libraries folder
D:\Documents\Software\Code\VisualStudio\2022\Arduino\libraries
Esp framework folder (github extension download)
D:\Documents\Software\Code\VisualStudio\2022\Arduino\hardware\espressif\esp32
And it worked, only I had the annoying messages when I opened Arduino IDE "Lib can not be used by Arduino IDE", because they where manually installed or downloaded But at least it worked.
Advantages
- Arduino IDE could download libs in the folder that can be used by Visual Micro.
- Arduino IDE could find the Github downloaded ESP framework, So it did work in Visual Micro too.
Q1. Now My question is how would you organize all those folders to get rid of the those messages when starting Arduino IDE and have all other things working?
I want to install esp framework manually according to this documentation.
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/installing.html Q2. Do I need to set in the IDE config of Visual Micro the "Optional physical folder for downloaded boards packages to" D:\Documents\Software\Code\VisualStudio\2022\Arduino\hardware\ ?
