Jun 3, 2024 · Learn where sketches, libraries, board platforms, and other files used by Arduino IDE are stored on your computer. Sketches are saved inside the Sketchbook folder by default. Sketches have the .ino file extension. When saving a sketch, the IDE suggests a name based on the date, such as sketch_nov17b.ino. For Example sketches, see Examples.

Typically, any Arduino project but the simplest one will include: Libraries specific to the project (MyProjectLibrary1.h, MyProjectLibrary1.cpp...) ... All this makes it hard to keep the whole code and doc of one project under Source Code Management (e.g. on Subversion, Git or GitHub).

Jun 9, 2024 · The way to share code between Arduino projects is libraries. So you should install the files as a library by putting them in a folder under the libraries subfolder of your sketchbook folder.

Jan 31, 2017 · I'm writing an Arduino program that contains various .h and .cpp files. Due to organizational needs, I have configured the directory that contains my Arduino sketch (.ino) to possess a subdirectory. This subdirectory contains related source code.

Nov 27, 2019 · I am designing a "project" with 5 Arduino's (each with separate codes), communicating with each other using NRF24. All the 5 codes are different except they share a common header "MyHeader.h". The Arduino IDE forces the .ino filename to be same as the folder-name it is in.

Nov 16, 2016 · I often find examples in downloads of drivers/arduino software/etc.. which I mostly discard but where examples are included which I would like to keep. I notice that often libraries downloaded also contain libraries that are stored with the library folder.

Oct 24, 2015 · How to extend the Arduino project structure to cater for local libraries and also for code in sub folders.

I know that you are supposed to place any external libraries under the "libraries" folder of the arduino install directory, but I have a project that uses several libraries that I have created for the project and mainly to keep all that code self contained and out of the main pde file.

The solution: follow the rules of Arduino layout of folders and files, put all the reusable code in a “src” folder and keep an “examples” folder for multiple projects (each one at a separate subfolder). Our new structure is:

Jul 3, 2021 · Where is the changed source code located? It's in a temporary folder. You can find the exact location by doing this: Select File > Preferences from the Arduino IDE's menus. Check the box next to "Show verbose output during: [] compilation". Click the OK button. Select Sketch > Verify/Compile from the Arduino IDE's menus. Wait for the ...
