If you're developing some code which needs precision results or calculations, then using Shared Projects you can run code Tests on your PC, with no changes to your Arduino project files! Info and links below.....

Here we quickly run through using Automated Testing with some simple timing code.

This runs on your PC as the timing code is pure C++, but it is also integrated into the Arduino project, allowing us to test and then upload once all tests have passed.

Useful for the hobbyist who doesn't want to break things, as well as the professional development team who need to work on an embedded project without the hardware.
