PlatformIO - Using External Libraries

In this video I'll show you how to leverage the internal Library Manager to find and use external libraries. Also you'll learn how to use libraries that you've downloaded from Github or simply have from a previous project!

Happy Hacking!

Thanks for the upload, using a libary for the first time was a bit confusing.

Robin, great explanation. Just wonder when you install the libraries to local I cannot see them in the folder view of the lib . Works as design or how can I get it in the foder view?

Visual Studio Code here and I can't find the "Rebuild C/C++ Project Index..." any place! Where is that hidden menu? 2:35

hey nice tutorial but i got a problem. i followed your tutorial but i still got an error "src\main.cpp:2:33: fatal error: Adafruit_SoftServo.h: No such file or directory.". I installed this lib using lib manager but still got this error.

dude thanks. nobody explains this on google. just drag and drop

Is it possible to use external arduino libraries that downloaded outside the PlatformIO?

[jiriandrle]

Is it possible to fetch private repository library

[taranagnew]

LED MATRIX fatal error: Adafruit_GFX.h: No such file or directory
plz help and i have the library installed in platformio already

is vscode platformio ide by default will lookup lib folder under project root for external libraries ?

Hi Robin,
can you please suggest if there is any package which creates method navigation? So, if I have class.h file, I would like to see the list of all methods and be able to navigate from it.
Anyway, thank you for the great videos.

Sorry but for me it is too fast and too unclear.

[juergenschubert]

when I create a new project I always got it named <number-number-nodeMCU>. How can I change this behavior and how can I change the name afterwards

[FinneyDale]

this looks nothing like what I just installed

[wavesailor]

@Robin or anyone else: How do I use the examples that come with a particular library. I can view them but not sure how I can use them like I could in the Arduino IDE? Anyone know?

[Tschosef]

Sorry, but you are talking very fast (my english is not the best) .... And for example, you do not tell wich menue you are clicking ( to call "Rebuild Project Index....") ... ... may be, meanwhile (2020) the tutorial is not actually? ...

Thanks!! im using vscode but still got rid of errors.

pretty lame, how is this acceptable to anyone ?
