A VSCode template for Electrosmith Daisy projects

(documentation still work in progress)

This template supports the following features:

import libdaisy and DaisySP directly in the workspace as git submodules (external use also supported)
build libraries as part of the build flow (pre-built libraries also supported)
virtual code testbench using VCV Rack

Note that since the creation of this depot, the Daisy team added vscode support to their Examples depot

How to setup

DO NOT fork this repo. Clone the template instead, you have two ways of doing this:

Using GitHub Templates - follow instructions here
Cloning locally - follow the instructions below

Cloning locally

git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/zeroisnan/daisytmpl.git myproject

If you already cloned, but forgot to include submodules:

git submodule update --init --recursive

Disconnect your clone from this depot:

git remote rm origin

Create your own project in Github and push your code to it. Read more @latest/github/importing-your-projects-to-github/adding-an-existing-project-to-github-using-the-command-line">here.

Files configuration (rackbench)

The following changes are only required if you intend to use the VCV Rack virtual testbench

Update the Makefile variable RACK_DIR under rackbench/Makefile to reflect the location of your RackSDK. This is required to build VCV Rack plugins.
Update the env variabler racksdk.path under rackbench/.vscode/c_cpp_properties_json to reflect the location of your Rack SDK. This is required so that VSCode can resolve include paths and lint check/suggest edits while you type your code.

VCV Rack must run @ 48kHZ sampling rate as the Daisy sampling rate is hard coded in few places within the example

Updating submodules

Update the version of the libdaisy and DaisySP submodules:

git submodule update 
git submodule foreach git checkout master 
git submodule foreach git pull origin master
