Better Arduino IDE? Visual Studio Code!

Arduino changed the DIY hobby. Never before microcontrollers were more comfortable to use. But Arduino code editor is one of the worst editors ever! Now it's time to replace Arduino IDE with something better: Visual Studio Code with Arduino Extension.

    I've used VSCode for web app programming for a long time and just got an Arduino. As soon as I saw the IDE, I was put off. To be able to code in in a full functioned editor (in dark mode no less) is great news.

    VScode is probably the best "small" IDE out there at the moment

    Please show the Important functions. Your Header-Libarys are missing. How can install it? How i can Compile? How i flash an Arduino? And the Most important Question - How i make a new Arduino-Project? Pleas make it better next time. When you say VSC is better, than please show us, why it is better. Colors are not a reason.

    how do you select port, library and then upload to arduino board?

    I spent an entire day trying to make it work and finally gave up. Editing the configuration file for the includes paths to work is a nightmare. In the end I got it to work by, among many things, adding a device name in the defines, which allowed VS to recognize functions and special registers names, but every time I compiled a code that word was removed from the configuration file and I had to add it manually every time. I'd like to give Arduino a try but it's impossible if every trivial task requires hours of researching.

    I'm with you there, this software is rubbish. Just about impossible to upload code or configure libraries. Want to upload your current sketch? No no, we'll keep uploading the first sketch you used till you find the little box down below to change it.

    Dlaczego nie mogę załączyć biblioteki servo.h? Błąd pojawia się tylko podczas weryfikacji a nie w intelisense. Program widzi plik h, ponieważ można do niego przejść.

    I've tried to use VS Code but almost always fall back to Arduino IDE as I often have two MCU's connected at the same time and to be able to see the debug window you need two instances of Arduino IDE running and I haven't been able to do that in VS Code. Any thoughts anyone? btw I use MAC...

    No idea about that. I open up Arduino IDE only when I have to decode ESP32 stack traces. In every other case, I just can't really stand this software :)

    @@PSAfterHours You've probably resolved this by now, by if you hold down the shift key while clicking on the VSCode icon in the start menu, that will open another instance of it if one instance is already running.

    Visual Studio Code has lots of features that Arduino IDEs don't have, however, it has a great handicap, which is working with multiple files (your .ino file and then other source code files...)

    You sold me. Excellent sales job but I'm having a problem Just trying to get this IDE to work for me. The message I get is "Cannot find Arduino IDE. Please specify the "arduino.path" in the User Settings. Requires a restart after change." Steps: After adding Arduino extention, I updated path to directory where Arduino IDE exe is located in order to select board type. (I verified it in the settings.json file)) I tried many times on two machines. Installed Arduino twice, once with zip, the second as a msi. Two different directory paths. I must be missing something. I really would love to use this IDE.

    You can't because its not compiled but interpeted instead, and an Atmega328P wont handle such task. To run Python you must have hardware that can utilise python or micro python like RPi or ESP etc? The Arduino IDE is bloated as it is compared to C. For example blink led in Arduino is like 1k and 170ihs bytes in C, and in Python I can even guess.
