Embedded Swift Project 101 (plus Prototyping Animations in SwiftUI)
|
Hey Reader, How do you begin development using Embedded Swift? How do you prototype 2D animations in SwiftUI? Let's dive in to find out. This year I have explored Embedded Swift and the Swift build tools on the command line (Terminal) and in Visual Studio Code. It has been a fun learning experience, and it definitely helps you appreciate all the nice things that Xcode offers, even when it has bugs or something isn’t working. My current project goal is to animate an LED matrix (16x16 pixels) using math equations that I have generated in Artwork Evolution (my first published app on the App Store). Artwork Evolution creates high quality abstract artwork that I have printed on aluminum and sold as a wallpaper app with In-App Purchases. 1. Beginners Guide: Embedded Swift and Visual Studio Code (with Code Completion) 2. After you setup you development environment you need to set up your first Embedded Swift project. In the following video I’ll walk you through that process. Embedded Swift Project Overview in Visual Studio Code and ESP-IDF 3.
