The old way - Add new arduino source and header file

2011 Note: In the new version this functionality has been upgraded and is available on all built-in Visual Studio command bar and menu areas

This document is no longer valid

The "New" menu contains two very useful options enabling new files to be quickly added to an arduino visual studio project . This is a useful features if you often need to add a new .c and .h files to your projects.

note: To add files to your arduino projects in visual studio you can always use the standard visual studio "add file" or "add existing file" options.

Workflow Objective

Create a new .c file named MySubFile.c to the project (if it does not already exist) folder and link it to the project "Source Files" filter

Create a new .h file named MySubFile.h to the project folder (if it does not already exist) and link it to the project "Header Files" filter

Insert an #Include for MySubFile.h to the currently active source file (or .pde)

Open the new files for editing

 

How To

1. Choose to add .c/.h or .cpp/.h

 

2. Provide a name for the new files

 

3. Visual Micro does the rest!
