Using Teensy bootloader w/ VS Code (Version Control)

[marks]

Hi all,

I am trying to get some version control and a somewhat better IDE set up for my Teensy programming and am having a hard time getting going. I usually like to use git for version control w/ VS code. I've installed the Arduino extension for VS code but I don't know exactly how to upload code to Teensy. Could anybody share their workflow with developing for Teensy? Alternatively, is it possible to get Teensy working with VS Code?

Thanks!

Thanks so much for the help. I installed VisualTeensy and now I am able to load the simple "Blink" example to my Teensy 4.0.

However, when I attempt to make the program I have been developing for a while now, I am getting a long list of errors that I had not experience when using the Arduino IDE. I've dumped the entire terminal output below. Does any of this make sense to people?

I would recommend using Visual Micro(VM) with Visual Studio(VS).
If you code will compile with the Arduino IDE it will compile with VM ands VS.
The other major advantage is the VM gives you inbuilt debugging.
See here and code which is released for the Arduino works straight away with VM and VS, no waiting for it to be ported to PlatformIO.

Thanks so much for the help. I installed VisualTeensy and now I am able to load the simple "Blink" example to my Teensy 4.0.

Did you include "arduino.h" in main.cpp? VisualTeensy is using plain cpp and does nothing behind your back (as one of its design goals). I.e., you need to include "Arduino.h", you need to forward declare functions and there is no automatic library dectection.

If including arduino.h doesn't fix the issue, you can zip your project and post it somewhere. I can have a closer look if you want.

[luni]

I just realized that the code you posted is your complete application. All you need to do is adding an #include "Arduino.h" at top of the file and adding the USB Host library to the project. It then compiles without an issue. (Well, you get a warning about an unused button variable in loop, but that's of course correct)

Good call. I have now added that but am still having issues with the build process. Now, I am getting errors from using the USBHost_t36.h library, which is throwing the following errors:

Chronicling my journey here for reference. I managed to get the project to build by adding:

#include <cstddef>
#include "Arduino.h"

To the file "USBHost_t36.h". I am not experienced in C++ so I'm not sure why this would do it. I guess it's some kind of scope issue that doesn't rear it's head in the Arduino IDE for whatever reason. Any clarification would be nice! Thanks again, all!

Edit: Just re-read the above comment on automatic library detection. That makes sense. Still wondering if my solution is hacky or non-best practice.

Sorry for the spam, but now a new problem has popped up when I try to upload to the teensy.

Teensy Loader could not find the file DemoSnake
quitmake: *** [makefile:165: upload] Error 1

Looking at the verbose output from Teensy:

Running a brand new project created using VisualTeensy works just fine (blinks LED rapidly, no other libraries imported). Lost as to what could be causing this.

Yes it is, and it is not necessary. As already written in #6 all you need to do is to place
#include "Arduino.h" in the very first line of your main.cpp.

Additionally, add the USBHost_t3.6 library to the Project setup:


Don't forget to save to regenerate you project.

Regarding your upload issues it looks like you don't have a hex file. I suggest to simply delete the complete project folder and start from scratch again.
I.e., add the library, save/generate the project, replace the autogenerated code with your code in main.cpp, add 'include "arduino.h" on top of the file and you should be good.


Normally all that stuff just works out of the box. Only mess around with advanced settings if you know what you do and don't add stuff manually to the generated jsons and makefiles. There are a few videos on my youtube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbs...TmvImjA/videos) which might help if you don't have much experience.

If you like the automatism's of the Arduino IDE but not the Editor, VisualMicro -as recommended by BriComp- might be a better fit.

Thanks for all the help. I recreated a new project but was still having the same issue with uploading. I eventually realized the wrong folder was selected for the uploader. Changing this allowed me to upload successfully.
