4. Example Project Overview

The example project will add the references and configuration necessary to begin developing. 

Running The Example Project
Let us first take a moment to load the example project in ARC and see it in action. 

1) Shutdown any instances of ARC, as they aren't necessary during debugging. 

2) Load the Visual Studio solution file for your plugin.

3) Press F5 in Visual Studio, or select Debug -> Start Debugging from the top menu

8) Close ARC to stop debugging the robot skill. You must stop ARC when you want to recompile and test the robot skill after new code changes.


Notes
Visual Studio is running as the debugger for the project. For experienced programmers, you can step through and debug the skill control plugin in real-time.
