I realize this is an old post, things change in both the Arduino and VS Code/PlatformIO world, but this still helped out a great deal. I'm new to Arduino and like the simplicity of the Arduino IDE but I used to program in the old Visual Studio (among other oldies like Delphi and Code Warrior) going back to VB 5.0 and MFC in VCC++. Having done very little coding in the last 20 years I needed the simplicity of Arduino IDE, but now want the bigger potential that VS offers. Having done the installs and extension updates, seeing 'main.cpp' was a welcome sight but I was kind of lost in the new IDE. Your walkthrough was very simple, to-the-point and wasted no time (unlike this comment). Thank you.

How to install libraries?

[@Andy-fd5fg]

Simple, and to the point basic starter tutorial.

Thank you for your feedback

4:25 Can you please tell me why I don't get the blue strip at the buttom so that I can upload the code???

[@ray-zin]

Awesome, easy to follow tutorial. Thank you!

[@absprog]

Thanks and welcome 👍

[@HivoltageVideos]

Can we use libraries???

[@Pixels...]

I think you can as when he opened platform io there was something that said libraries

[@rufuzzzzz]

I uploaded small and easy programm to my arduino and it worked properly. But when i tried to upload it for the second time there was a problem. Something like "the port is already used". Now i can fix it only when I close VS code and open it. How can I fix it?

Thanks for the short video.

You're welcome! 👍

[@UnderratedHero-sy7pj]

When I use Arduino.h library, it says no such file/directory. What do I do?

[@Thomsenox]

very helpful, the configuration with the original arduino extension is too painful on Mac, thanks for saving me

[@absprog]

I am glad you found this helpful Guoqiang! I appreciate your support

[@streamx2]

Do you have to use c++ with arduino?

[@absprog]

Not quite. First, what you use with Arduino is "the Arduino language", which not pure C (but is extremely similar to C/C++). Second, there are a few workarounds to program an Arduino with Python (and even with C#, if I'm not mistaken). What you were referring to as C, though, is by far the most widely used option.

Thanks a lot. I can't code without Intellisense, I'm too lazy typing letter by letter

[@absprog]

Thank you for your feedback! 👍

You know it's an insult in Italy to flash an upside-down Arduino board in someone's face, right?

Дякую!
