Now you should see that intellisense working: Intellisense workingĪfter this you can still use Arduino to compile & upload the file to your Arduino, NodeMcu, Wemos, ESP8266 or whatever you're using. In this file you will need to add the path for all the. Edit browse.pathĬlicking it will create a json file called "c_cpp_properties.json" under. If you hover over the light bulb icon, you will see "Edit browse.path settings" button. Otherwise we will get below error: Browse path error We need to tell vscode where it needs to include those file from. If we included 3rd party libraries, they will be in a different folder than we currently work on. "arduino.path": "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Arduino", "arduino.additionalUrls": "", "arduino.logLevel": "info", "arduino.enableUSBDetection": true, "C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine": "Tag Parser" Now we need to tell vscode the location of the Arduino so need to make some changes using File -> Preferences -> Settings VsCode settings for Arduino ino file extension is enabled for vscode. Arduino for Visual Studio CodeĪfter this setting you will see that. Then we need to install Arduino extension by Microsoft. VScode is not a complete IDE, so we still need to have Arduino installed in our system. But I had some issues which I figured out how to solve. If you want to use your own code rather than copy & pasting other people's code you find on the internet, it's essential that you have intellisense.Īdding this functionality is not very hard. Adafruit or U8GLib is a good example for this. But if you need to use multiple sensors and outputting devices such as OLED screens or motors, it means you need to use sophisticated 3rd party libraries. Using Arduino IDE for small projects just as blinking LED or reading from a sensor then manipulating a switch or a relay is an easy job.
Vscode is just an editor but with large extensions library it also provides debugging, syntax highlighting, code refactoring in your projects let it be NodeJs, ReactJS, AngularJS, Python, Lua or whatever. It's not a complete IDE so it's not as heavy as other Microsoft products such as Visual Studio Professional. Visual Studio Code is an open source editor that's already in the market and already being used for many developers from NodeJS to Python projects. Arduino IDE is a great tool, but if you need to use Arduino more than just blinking LEDs, you most probably will need a better editor that supports intellisense.
