Hi All
I've used this front end over 5 years ago and had a little plugin I made that saved game info to a text file that LCD Smarty loaded up to a HD44780 via parallel.
Since then I had a linux install and a house move. I recently started a rebuild and upgrade and wanted to give this software a go again. I found randomly the old plugin but it must have had some hard coded settings and I have no project files from that plugin.
I've decided to continue with an Arduino to interface to the LCD from the linux time so now need to make a plugin to send over the text via a USB COM port.
This is where things go wrong. I have VS 2019 Community edition and loaded up the example project. Started with a basic test example but when I copy the build over to the plugins folder it fails to show up in the setup wizard. I then tried just the example code build and that shows if nothing is changed. As soon as I change something as simple as the name it then fails to show up in the list. If I then undo the change and build it is still the same. Also happens with a clean before build.
Many thanks for any help.
