Cannot compile Arduino code to 32u416m board

[Michael-Longley]

When compiling our code for the Elite C / Pro Micro controllers we are getting the following errors.

.platformio\packages\framework-arduino-avr\cores\arduino\USBCore.cpp:73:29: error: 'USB_VID' was not declared in this scope
Compiling .pio\build\32u416m\FrameworkArduino\main.cpp.o
  D_DEVICE(0xEF,0x02,0x01,64,USB_VID,USB_PID,0x100,IMANUFACTURER,IPRODUCT,ISERIAL,1); 

.platformio\packages\framework-arduino-avr\cores\arduino\USBCore.cpp:73:37: error: 'USB_PID' was not declared in this scope
  D_DEVICE(0xEF,0x02,0x01,64,USB_VID,USB_PID,0x100,IMANUFACTURER,IPRODUCT,ISERIAL,1);

These errors can be seen by building the C++ code using PlatformIO in VSCode.

Research if this is a configuration issue, a known issue with the Arduino libraries or if we can circumvent / resolve it.

I don't feel like reading tonight, but https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=758039 might have a solution.

Also, this may help: platformio/platformio-core#164

[Michael-Longley]

The solution to this is to add #define USB_VID <Our VID> and #define USB_PID <Our PID> to C:/Users/<Your User>/.platformio/packages/framework-arduino-avr/cores/arduino/USBCore.h. We still need to pick a PID and a VID but that will be simple so I will open an issue to decide that and add the checks for it in ControllerConnection.py.
