While looking at the file structure of your Project:
Project name

pio
.vscode
include // Open this folder and read the README file. Header files .h and .hpp go here. Similar to tabs used with Arduino IDE.
lib
scr
test

I’m looking forward to installing Platform IO for about the 4th or 5th time. All previous attempts proved fruitless: at first I didn’t have all the parts while following the instructions for OTHER website (not RandomNerd), then when I did have installed there were no clear instructions on how to do anything. De-installed 4 or 5 times.
NOW, it looks like RandomNerds has really did a good job of spelling it all out. When I used to write labs for my students, I left no ambiguities and my labs worked perfectly and I got high praise for them. I’ve got RandomNerds as a favourite, downloaded some of their books. Their work and site is the really the best of all in its genre. So…soon, I’ll be trying Platform I/O, Random Nerd version. Thanks for all your good work.

In reply to Bob.

These tutorials are great, thank you!
I agree. As follow-up to this tutorial, guidance (in this very style!) how to use git on adding external libraries from github, managing own code in a separate repository etc would be helpful.
I still get confused how to lay out my code base to keep things tidy.
Maybe I just have not found the right guide yet, would appreciate links.

In reply to john. John, to do version control you need to use Git, it works seamlessly with VS code. There is an excellent free book on using Git. It seems a bit daunting at first but once you begin to use it becomes quite easy. Hopefully Ruis and Sarah will do a tutorial in their inimitable style. This recent tutorials on workspaces is the best I have seen, particularly the last section on how to select which file is uploaded, a LOT of people struggle with that. Once you lnow the method it is simple.

Hello.
Why you are not making the projects using the ESP-IDF toolchain for ESP32.

This is a great tutorial. I was hoping this would solve the mystery for new Platform IO users as to how the file management systems compares to the “tab” feature in Arduino. Maybe you could touch on this in the next tutorial in the Platform IO series.
