Arduino IDE session


Have you considered Platform IO in the alternative? It runs in VS Code so you get sweet sweet intellisense, and the project management is just so much better.

Some of my IoT code - like my graphics library - won't even compile in the Arduino IDE without digging around in the bowels of its application toolchain configuration to tweak settings. It's a mess.

I mean, I don't judge you for what you decide to use in any case, but from experience I can say that Platform IO increased my productivity by a huge amount and made my projects cleaner and easier for other people to check out from github. With Arduino IDE dependent libs must be installed manually, and are shared between all projects, making GitHub use a mess.

I still use Arduino IDE occasionally, because the latest Arduino framework bits come out for it before Platform IO, and it's still okay for really quick and dirty tests but it's a toy.

Anyway, I'm only posting this in case you hadn't heard of it. There's a trick to installing it on windows:

Install python first, making sure to add it to your PATH. Then, log out of windows or reboot, and finally install Platform IO IDE extension in VS Code. Do it in that order. Also, the first time you make a project, it has to download the toolchain so it will take quite a bit of time, but it's a one time thing.
