I Followed The Directions (For a New Project). Now what?

Hi,

  I followed the directions to create an empty project in VSCode. I picked my device, an F405RGT6, and the extension did what it did. Now what? The docs end there. If I launch MX from inside VSCode, MX wants an ioc file; there isn't one to find. What shall I do? Thanks.

Hello @DBitt.1 

I think that following this tutorial should be helpful for you.

Best Regards.

If you want to work with CubeMX, then start in CubeMX and use it to create the project.

Creating a blank project assumes that you're going to fill in everything yourself, from scratch.

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.
A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.

So I should always start MX first. Thanks.

Exactly as said @Andrew Neil .

Best Regards.

If you want it to be an MX project, yes.

If you want it to be just a blank project - no MX - then choose that.
