VSCode & PlatformIO

Proven on:

4, 5

WIP!!!

As always...

Start with:

• sudo apt update
• sudo apt upgrade

Getting Started with PlatformIO

PlatformIO is an add-on for VSCode.

You can install VSCode directly from the Software Manager... If you don't have an aversion to flatpack. Or...

Download VSCode

• wget https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=760868
• mv index.html\?LinkID\=760868 vsc.deb

Install VSCode

• sudo apt install ./vsc.deb

Install PlatformIO

Gonna fail hard if you don't first improve the python install...

• sudo apt-get install python3-distutils
• sudo apt install python3-venv

Their instruction page...

1. Open VSCode Package Manager
2. Search for the official platformio ide extension
3. Install PlatformIO IDE.

UDEV

You may need to ensure you can talk to your USB devices

• platformio-udev.rules

Using GitHub

Make sure you actually have git installed... :P

• sudo apt install git

You'll need to set your user name & email for git...

Open a terminal and do:

• git config --global user.name YOURUSERNAME
• git config --global user.email YOUR@EMAIL.ADDRRESS

In fact...
