However if you put the new sensor code into a library, you can use it from the test program and the main program and be sure there arenвЂ™t subtle differences between the different versions of your GPS sensor code.Д«etter yet: when you build a new project and want a GPS sensor, the code for it is readily available in the library. Then it might be easier to build a separate program to get the GPS sensor working before copying the new code into the main program. Say, you want to add a GPS sensor to a project that is already monitoring a dozen sensors and sending data over a wireless link. They work just like standard Arduino libraries, but live in Visual Studio making them easier to work with.ДЄs your Arduino programs get larger it can get more difficult to test parts in isolation. They let you group together a bunch of code and build new programs with it. Well, program-projects get compiled and linked into programs: hex files that you can upload onto your Arduino using AVRDude or MegunoLink ProвЂ™s Program Device visualizer.Д«ut code thatвЂ™s in a program-project canвЂ™t be reused by any other projects. The Visual Studio Build Tool, bundled with MegunoLink Pro, supports Arduino library projects as well as Arduino program projects.

IMPORTANT!!: We have now stopped supporting this build tool and are recommending Visual Micro,В a plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio, as an alternative.
