As most of you know there are several ways to skin a cat(don’t take that personal anyone I have cats :).
The cool thing about the spark platform is how generic and open it really is. The possibilities of a development environment are plentiful. I setup Eclipse for ARM development along with the c/c++ interface and it has worked great for my development with my Spark Cores. However I was just curious on what was the most popular and if I should check anything else out. Im an Eclipse guy and that IDE is warm and cozy for me.
I think it would be good to have a post on this so everyone can chime in. If there is already another post just like this please let me know. Post what you use if you’d like and why.
For super quick snippet tests (e.g. community questions) I use Web IDE with a repository of dummy projects
For standard builds with Spark.function()/variable tests required I quite like Spark Dev
For local builds of different repo branches plus the need for Android interaction I use Eclipse, too
And being a C# programmer, I suddenly (out of habit) find myself using Visual Studio for the coding and build/flash via command line and CLI (haven’t come round to integrate this into VS yet ;-))
I had never even thought of using VS. I wonder if it would be possible to set it up to deploy directly to Spark through DFU-UTIL. Have you looked into that at all yet? Has anyone done this yet?
I use VS(VB) once in a while when I need a quick dirty Windows GUI application. Definitely super simple to use.
