Arduino IDE??

[themindfactory]

Not an issue a questions, is there an easy way to download and use this source code in Arduino IDE?

I'm converting this to a Q&A Discussion.

Thanks!

@themindfactory Circling back to this in an attempt to give "an" answer, assuming that with "editing" you also mean "compiling and flashing":

• I am not aware of anyone trying this, let alone anyone reporting success in doing so.
• I consider the possibility of doing this in an easy way very unlikely. This is because the solution used for dependency management and build configuration and execution is PlatformIO - where a number of very PlatformIO-specific (extension) facilities are also used.

The code itself can be modified in any editor you choose and is compiled by a "regular" C++ cross compiler in the end. However, PlatformIO does a lot of heavy lifting needed to make sure that whatever is needed to make that compilation succeed is in place. All of that would have to somehow be ported to another build context if one would want to use one. Not impossible in principle but certainly not easy. Also, when it comes to Arduino IDE, we may be doing some things with PlatformIO that Arduino IDE just doesn't support; I have to add to that that I don't know enough about Arduino IDE to be able to make any definitive statement about this.
