Import code to Visual Studio

Back to Basebot

import code

Visual studio can import an Arduino project.

This will make a copy of the Basebot code as a new PlatformIO project.

Open the "Visuel Studio Code" and press the PlatformIO icon .

Using PlatformIO "QUICK ACCESS" -> "PIO Home" -> "Open" and here press "Import Arduino project"

Select Teensy 4.1 as the board type:

The browse to where you saved the Basebot code:

Press "import"

You now get something like this:

Note that the project gets a name with a timestamp and "Teensy 4.1" (in the side panel). This is important if you have imported it multiple times or want to find the code copy.

The file browser shows the configuration file "platformio.ini"; here, we must add the needed libraries.

Add Arduino Libraries

Using PlatformIO "QUICK ACCESS" -> "PIO Home" -> "Libraries" to add the following libraries:

Adafruit GFX library
MPU9250_asukiaaa

Type the name of the library; there are too many to browse.
