I've been writing arduino sketches for some time in the arduino studio thing, and i'd really like to write stuff in a modern IDE. i've seen pretty good integration into eclipse, which is cool, but for various reasons, i'd like to use visual studio.
i've run across a couple of resources that are somewhat useful. the ardupilot guys have released their project as a visual studio project, and i was able to reverse engineer a lot of their settings (and they wrote some batch files for linking and uploading), plus, there's also Arduino Playground - WindowsCommandLine which is how to build at the command line. but i was wondering is anyone else out there is using visual studio, and if anyone has written a 'how-to' on configuring visual studio based arduino projects.
i googled around and couldn't find anything, so i'd love a pointer. or if someone wants to write something up here, that would be rad too.
I'm currently working on an arduino project wizard for Visual Studio, it will be able to build and upload to the board. Hopefully I'll be able to get some useful intellisense working and things.
Also planning to include a little serial utility so it can completely replace the official IDE and should also be compatible with the VS express edition (the free one)
