Specifying different "myconfig.h"

[gregl]

If i want to run a second 1.4 gateway for dev/testing purposes, what do i need to do to keep them separate?

To do this i understand i just need to set different values in myconfig.h.

This could be a tricky when compiling/updating "prod" sensors or test sensors . You need to shutdown IDE's, modify of copy file and relaunch the IDE.

So i was wondering if it is possible to set in the sketch which MyConfig.h file is loaded?

Might it be as simple as specifying it in

#include <MySensor.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MyConfig_DEV.h>

Cheers,
Greg

No I don't think so. The Arduino IDE build system is very limited. I would have wanted to #define stuff before includes which should have make thing much easier to configure. But it is not possible from what I have googled.

I keep separate sketch paths when developing and just go to the IDEs "Preferences" and switch where it should look for sketches.

So I have (on mac):
Documents/ArduinoDev/libraries
and
Documents/Arduino/libraries

mmm.. Ok - thanks Hek.

I was doing similar by having multiple copies of the Arduino IDE - one with 1.3 libs and another with 1.4 but ive recently started using AtmelStudio with VisualMicro plugin. I wonder if i can change within there without restarting the IDE completely...
