I ran into all the same problems as everyone else running serial port monitor with this extension, so I made one using powershell that you can run in the terminal session: https://github.com/stevemcilwain/SerialPortMon
Same pain-point here. Very frustrating for a newcomer trying to follow the DevKit Getting Started tutorial on Microsoft Docs site with my MXChip. Uploading was fine once I manually entered "port": "COM7" into Arduino.json but trying to use the serial monitor feature threw error. In the end, to check telemetry was being sent I fired up Azure Cloud Shell in Windows Terminal and used the az iot hub monitor-events command. I eventually settled on using VS Code's integrated terminal with that azure CLI command so I could see telemtery firing up within VS Code. Also wondering if just using something like PuTTY tool would have worked. At least I managed to get past that issue and continue on through the Getting Started tutorial.
Looking through the commit history for the repo, it seems like there nobody is actively maintaining this project or accepting pull requests. I'm considering forking the extension and publishing updated pacakges on the marketplace as a new extension, at least until the core team for this extension can dedicate the time needed.
Here's a build of the extension recompiled with the proper serial library versions. https://github.com/maddogjt/vscode-arduino/releases/download/v0.3.2%2Bserialfix/vscode-arduino-0.3.2+serialfix.vsix
I'm new to the extension and using VS Code with Arduino. When I open the Arduino Blink example, more settings are set in the .vscode\arduino.json and .vscode\c_cpp_properties.json files than when I create a .ino file in a folder and then use the Arduino: Initialize command.
I noticed this because I had always had a red squiggle under the first line of my code and it had this error.
#include errors detected. Please update your includePath. Squiggles are disabled for this translation unit (D:\Users\Jonathan\Desktop\Programming\Arduino and LabVIEW\PWM\ManualPWM.ino).C/C++(1696)
cannot open source file "avr/pgmspace.h" (dependency of "C:\Program Files (x86)\Arduino\hardware\arduino\avr\cores\arduino\Arduino.h")C/C++(1696)
Is there a reason for more settings being set in one case over the other (particularly with the includePath)?
could it be because i dont have an official arduino uno?, this is an elego uno r3 and im able to use it with the arduino IDE so i dont think thats the issue
Same here: Trying to open COM3: Failed to open serial port COM3 due to error: + Error: \?\c:\Users\charl.vscode\extensions\vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino-0.3.4\out\node_modules\usb-detection\build\Release\detection.node is not a valid Win32 application. \?\c:\Users\charl.vscode\extensions\vsciot-vscode.vscode-arduino-0.3.4\out\node_modules\usb-detection\build\Release\detection.node
@maddogjt Thank you for your comment. It appears that this Issue is being tracked, "Can't select Arduino serial port (again) #1198" Since I have vscode 1.53.0, it sounds like I need to upgrade Arduino extension version 0.3.4 to 0.3.5.
Hi guys, I probably have a very stupid question. But really can't find a fitting solution. The c/c++ extions code checker doesn't "know" the default arduino functions and definitions. I'm getting identifier A0 is undefined, but also for "byte" , "pinMode", " OUTPUT" , "map" "Serial.write" etc.. What do I need to change to make this work?

Hello. I want to use VSCode to build to edit TI Energia files(similar to Arduino, but the path of packages is "%LocalAppData%\Energia15"(1), nor "%LocalAppData%\Arduino15"(2).) I changed the "arduino.path" to the path of energia(3) and renamed energia.exe and energia_debug.exe, but VSCode can only search for the boards in (2)&(3), nor expected (1)&(3). What should I do? Energia's website is energia.nu.
Re x7890 post: I guess that you are somehow trying to use the Arduino extension. Not that I have ever used Platform IO or know how, but I would investigate using the Platform IO extension and website: docs.platformio.org/en/feature-platformio-30/index.html for information.
For some reason when the arduino-cli option is chosen, the extension is still trying to use the "arduino" executable name, but with the arduino-cli syntax.
The best thing to do is point arduino-path to the arduino ide directory. Putting arduino-cli in ~bin or whatever then symlink it to inside the arduino ide root directory.
Then set arduino.commandPath to arduino-ide to force the correct executable name.
"arduino-cli" rather. Not arduino-ide
The reason for putting the symlink in the arduino ide directory is VS Code can't seem to find the builtin examples, and intellisense can't find what it needs to very well either.
I renamed all the executable files of Energia according to the file name under Arduino root installation path. But the directory identified in its code cannot be renamed. I guess that the vscode Arduino extension is hard coded, because when I copy the files from %LocalAppData%\Energia to %LocalAppData%\Arduino15, the extension can recognize the corresponding board. It's just that it still doesn't compile. After all, Energia is a dialect version.

any suggestions how to fix? really annoying. tried npm rebuild in the directory but it fails with the usual obtuse style of npm error
if i try any npm commands it tells me npm isnt installed
Hi, I want to use vscode-arduino to debug code on a Teensy board. How much work would it take to extend the debugging support to another board like this?
https://www.pjrc.com/store/teensy41.html

?
Workspace doesn't seem to have a folder added to it yet.
what happen?
Can someone help with this error?
I am using Ubuntu + VS Code + Arduino
Hello everyone, I'm facing a problem with an automatic completion problem, when I start a new ARDUINO project (.ino file) the auto-completion only works with the C ++, with the Arduino syntax, by exemple, pinmode, serial etc .... Nothing work !in the directory .Vscode it nor has no c_cpp_properties file.json and if I add it manually it does not work either. I am under Win10-X64 with VS-Code 1.57.0 and IDE 1.8.15. Ideas ? Thank you.
