===== Introduction =====
[[https://platformio.org|Platform IO]] is a "new generation toolset for embedded C/C++ development" built on  [[https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=platformio.platformio-ide|Microsoft's Visual Studio Code]]. It can be used as an alternative IDE for "Arduino related work". 

It has a limited support for .ino files, as those have to be [[https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/faq.html#convert-arduino-file-to-c-manually|manually converted to normal C++ source files]] for full support. 

This document is about enabling embedded C/C++ development for ANT+ protocols within PlatformIO. It describes how to add S340 SD support within PlatformIO to the Adafruit nRF52 Core for the Arduino nRF52840 Express Feather.
