Add custom class in Arduino project.

[Badang]

Hello. Im pretty new in ESP32\arduino programming, but i have some experience in barebone mcu firmware design.

Usually, when i need to divide my project in separate source files, i just make “module name” folder and put *.c and *.h files in there. But when reading documentation of ESP-IDF i have found, what ESP-IDF suggest some different system, what called “components”.  As per my understand, it is same as “C way” with *.c and *h files in they own directory, but also requests makefile and component description file to be inside.

Ok this is clear for me.
But for now, i work with arduino visualGDB project and seems there is no components folder, only “referenced libraries”. Also i can just create folder in solution explorer and include files in it.

So i have next questions:
1. In generic ESP-IDF VisualGDB project, can i just make folders and put my own source\header files in them? (like in other C oriented IDEs).
2. (if previous is false) In generic ESP-IDF VisualGDB project, all of the code not included in “main.c” file must be created as “IDF component”?
3. In Arduino ESP-IDF VisualGDB project, what is the correct way to extract usercode from main? Make arduino-like libraries?

Thank for your the attention.

Please see the following tutorials for examples on adding extra files to ESP-IDF and Arduino projects:

• https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/esp32/esp-idf/components/
• https://visualgdb.com/tutorials/arduino/libraries/

You can also add existing files directly to the project by right-clicking on it in Solution Explorer and selecting Add->Existing Item.
