ft817_buddy/Arduino/src/README.md

The main Arduino sketch for the FT-817 Buddy project.

This sketch has been built using Visual Studio Code / PlatformIO IDE (instead of Arduino IDE). If you want to load this code into Arduino IDE you probably just need to remove the #include <Arduino.h> line at the top of the sketch, Google is your friend. But it's much nicer to work in VSC/PlatformIO, it's a nice step forward from the Arduino IDE.

Don't forget to inmport the non-standard ft817 library into your IDE, found under ft817_buddy/Arduino/lib/
