IDE Plugins
The IDE has been designed with flexibility in mind. Plugins enable the functionality of the IDE to be extended by through additional third party software, which can be integrated into the development environment. The IDE comes with a default set of plugins which you can use straight away. These are: -
ASCII Table Assembler Hex View Serial Communicator
To access a plugin, select the plugin icon just above the main editor window. A drop down list of available plugins will then be displayed. Plugins can also be selected from the main menu, or by right clicking on the main editor window.
Plugin Developer Notes The plugin architecture has been designed to make writing third party plugins very easy, using the development environment of your choice (for example Visual BASIC, C++ or Borland Delphi). This architecture is currently evolving and is therefore publicly undocumented until all of the protocols have been finalised. As soon as the protocol details have been finalised, this documentation will be made public. For more information, please feel free to contact us.
