Hi,
I am planning to have a few libraries designed for Photon.
Arduino times I was using ATmel Studio (Visual Studio) with Arduino plugin. That is really cool and easy C++ implementation that was lacking on Arduino IDE.
As a moderate programmer I am more confortable with that approach.
I am trying to develop a library for photon… but still not cler how to do it.
I downloaded a complete package of Netbeans etc… but I think that is more for core code compilation, right? Is there a user code only setup for this?
Thanks
Are you looking for guidance on writing a custom library for Photon or wanting integrate Photon development into Visual Studio?
I personally use Particle Dev which is the GitHub Atom editor and the Particle extensions do keyword mapping, syntax, etc but you still compile in Particle.io so you don’t have to maintain a compiler locally.
I used netbeans when I wrote some libraries for a custom shield I built a while ago. I couldn’t have done it without it. The way auto-complete works is excellent and takes a lot of the hard work out of programming.
One tip - brainstorm for a day, get a good flow chart of how you want the library/program to flow then start to write the code. Pen and paper works best for this.
Thanks
I am used to write OO code, so my issue is not really the coding but the toolset…
I also like Netbeans. Used it for JAVA and some C++ programming a while ago…
