The main tool for building, testing and deploying software is CMake. It is widely accepted and supported by many IDEs, which means you are free to choose from various development environments.

There are Motorcortex plugins for VS Code and CLion. The same setup can be done by hand, but the plugins simplify it and provide templates to get started quickly, so VS Code and CLion are the recommended IDEs for developing Motorcortex control applications.

  • CLion

    Set up CLion with the Motorcortex plugins to build, run and debug a C++ control application on a target.

  • VS Code

    Set up VS Code with the Motorcortex extension to build, run and debug a C++ control application on a target.
