So I’m new to this ecosystem and so far its been a little rocky but I’m managing to get everything working so far after some trial and error (And a lot of googling)
I have a photon and an electron. I got the photon to develop apps on for the electron since I know cloud flashing is way less annoying.
I am using the desktop IDE (Particle Dev?) and I want to know if there is an easy way to achieve the same tab effect that the arduino IDE has. Where I can just make arbitrary tabs and paste my code on them and when you compile, it acts like its all on the same original .ino file. I usually use this to segment out a bunch of subroutines and operations, ie:
main ino tab: core program stuff, library includes, variables, etc
display routines tab: drawing routines to draw menus, main windows, bootup screens, etc
communication routines tab: routines to talk to the outside world
debug routines tab: where I can dump all kinds of test code to see why everything is broken
etc, that kind of thing.
It makes writing it a heck of a lot easier for me, and over the years I’ve very much taken it for granted.
But now I’m on this new IDE and ecosystem, and I can’t seem to figure out how to do it. I saw a few posts about making .ccp and .h files, but that seems a bit complicated, especially since I would have to re-call my libraries I might be using? and split different things among each file? Its way too complicated for what I’m trying to do, which is to simply just break up a big page of code into more manageable pages. To the compiler, I just want it to see the tabs as one big .ino file, again, like the arduino IDE.
Is there any way to do this? Thank you!
