Thanks - I didn't even notice they eclipse platformio as I only see the vscode one everywhere.. I'll try it today.

that is often the issue - ie needed to write code for all of the chips, and needing the latest idf for bug fixes.

Which is why it would be good if expressif did something workable...

I'll try registering for that - but haven't yet.. I also have been using eclipse off and on for over a decade, and am quite use to it. VS Code is a pain if you are use to eclipse.. However espressif have made a mistake in - 1) making their own vscode extension - which is EXTREMELY easy to break - wh...

This still seems like the biggest issue with the esp32 line (unless you are doing toy projects with it) - if you have many classes (say over 100) it forces you to name them all one by one which I haven't had to do with any other build system since the early 80's (if then..). Does anyone know if they...

idf_component_register( SRC "main.c" "/FolderN/srcN.c" INCLUDE_DIRS "." "/FolderN" ".." ) Does indeed work, only leaving the issues of - listing every source code file individually (thus losing half the power of 'make') the eclipse addin won't find the system include files (say "esp_log.h") if the ...

And do you really mean to list over 100 source files (and which directory) here, one by one?

adding files/folders via the project properties w - so the trick for eclipse is NOT to use the extension, so that the normal menus etc are visible? Has anyone tried that with the idf? With vscode I'll try what you sugested, I just don't find vscode as usable as eclipse generally - but if that works...

OK, make several (say 4) directories that are not sub directories of a specific project ie directories of common classes that multiple projects are going to use. Put 50 classes (with headers) in each directory. Now get vscode to access those directories for both including the header files, and for l...

I've been using the esp32 since it came out, and have put it into a commercial product. I'm currently doing software for another commercial product that will probably be using it. The trouble is the IDE and build system (ie cmake). Nobody can write complex software in the ardunio ide, most of the pe...
