I’ve put together a 20min tutorial on how to use Simple FOC with PlatformIO IDE:
[ ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3B88qCny7Kg)
If you’ve never used PlatformIO IDE then I strongly recommend you check it out. It’s SO much better than Arduino IDE.
The video covers:
- installation of platformio (and visual studio code)
- creation on new project (selecting an ESP32 board)
- adding multiple libraries (including github sourced libraries)
- testing a gimbal motor and as5600 magnetic sensor
- adding an additional board (pro mini mega368p gimbal controller)
- switching between two boards using platformio environments
- using build flags to have one code base for two boards

Thank you for your tutorial,
I’ve also been using platformio on atom. Compared with Arduino IDE, platformio ide has better interface effect and function Association

Thanks a lot @Owen_Williams for letting me know about PlaformIO. Compared to Arduino IDE, this looks much closer to what I am used to .
For those landing here, notice that the current version of PlaformIO doesn’t support the Nucleo-L476RG. Fortunately there is a workaround, see [here](https://github.com/platformio/platform-ststm32/issues/537).

We have an online version of the tutorial as well:
> **[PlatformIO](https://docs.simplefoc.com/library_platformio)**

> Arduino Simple Field Oriented Control (FOC) library .
If using PlatformIO with SimpleFOC, its important to add the option
`lib_archive = false`
to your platformio.ini
The error you post looks like a setup error of some kind, it has nothing to do with SimpleFOC. it means the Arduino (atmelavr) platform is not installed.
When using PlatformIO, you have to go the “Platforms” pane, and install the correct platform for your MCU. Ardunio, STM32 and ESP32 all have separate platforms.

Hi @runger,
I tried to install SimpleFOC on PlatformIO, but I get error during compilation.

This error is caused by having the incorrect ESP32 platform version.
If you upgrade the ESP32 platform to the latest version, the error should go away.
Sometimes it also seems to be necessary to do a make clean and/or erase any cached parts of the project to get PlatformIO to compile with the new code.

PlatforIO might be to difficult for me.
Maybe it is better to stick to Arduino IDE?

This means there is something wrong in your platformio.ini…
> [@Svein\_Utne](#):
>

> current\_sense1.linkDriver(&driver1);
And these are a problem in the code, these variables are not declared…
(And you can’t have more than one current sense anyway, unfortunately we only support one at the moment)

For sure you can! The results should be the same in either environment, it’s just what you feel more comfortable working with…
Arduino IDE is easier to use, with fewer options. PlatformIO is much more powerful, but can be confusing if you’re new to programming or aren’t familiar with visual studio code

Good day to every one! I have installed PlatformIO IDE on VS Code. I use Arduino Nano ATmega328 (old bootloader). I connected LCD to it and installed 2 libraries: SimpleFOC and LiquidCrystal\_I2C by Frank de Brabander. When I tryed to upload code, I’ve got an error. Can someone help me?

It’s not finding the SPI library… that’s strange.
Try including it with
`#include `
or try adding it with the library manager.
But its strange because normally it is built-in.

Good evening! Thank you very much, it solved my problem! I included it with
```auto
#include
```
