How To Download Visual Studio Code In Ubuntu 20.04
Brandi Baylon
I am going through step by step guide of Torizon. I have installed latest version of visual studio code 1.46 on Ubunutu 16.04 64 bit. I have installed Toradex Torizon Support extension in it but its failed to load.
At the bottom, its showing Torizon loading.
I have got 2 errors as shown in the image
hey,
So our developers who are using ubuntu 20.04lts are not able to push or pull code to gitlab from thier vs code terminal.
It was working fine all these days but then suddenly they are facing the issue lately.
Can you browse gitlab.com website, or do you see a looping screen about checking your browser? If so, probably there is an issue with your IP addresses. Try a VPN or from a different location so different IP and see if you can access.
yeah, we are using the latest version of vs code.
we have also tried updating the git password too.
i am not sure what the problem is
will looking into logs in the git production machine help?
cuz the error means it is mostly an authentication issue.
Learn how to program the ESP32 and ESP8266 NodeMCU boards using VS Code (Microsoft Visual Studio Code) with PlatformIO IDE extension. We cover how to install the software on Windows, Mac OS X or Ubuntu operating systems.
The Arduino IDE works great for small applications. However, for advanced projects with more than 200 lines of code, multiple files, and other advanced features like auto completion and error checking, VS Code with the PlatformIO IDE extension is the best alternative.
The platformio.ini file is the PlatformIO Configuration File for your project. It shows the platform, board, and framework for your project. You can also add other configurations like libraries to be included, upload options, changing the Serial Monitor baud rate and other configurations.
We recommend that you copy this code manually, so that you see the autocompletion and other interesting features of the IDE in action. Additionally, if you have a syntax error somewhere in your program, it will underline it in red even before compiling.
The default baud rate used by PlatformIO is 9600. However, it is possible to set up a different value as mentioned previously. On the File Explorer, under your project folder, open the platformio.ini file and add the following line:
PlatformIO has a built-in powerful Library Manager, that allows you to specify custom dependencies per project in the Project Configuration File platformio.ini using lib_deps. This will tell PlatformIO to automatically download the library and all its dependencies when you save the configuration file or when you compile your project.
VS Code lets you choose between different color themes. Go to the Manage icon and select Color Theme. You can then select from several different light and dark themes.
Most guides show only Windows installation. To get the JTAG interface to work in Linux you need to install the 99-platformio-udev.rules so the USB ingterface recognizes the device as explained in:
docs.platformio.org/en/latest/plus/debug-tools/esp-prog.html
For MacOS, you apparently need to remove the default FTDI drivers (same reference above).
pretty complex to setup microsoft visual studio and platformIO
What is the big advantage of using with VS Code and PlatformIO IDE over the Arduino-IDE that would be worth the hassle of this setup-process?
The wrapping up statement gives you the main benefits for your efforts, i will add that your programming skills will be taken to a higher level. I wish i had this when i installed it on my pc. This ia a great tutorial to get you started on what could be a career changing journey for some.
The best reason to use platformio is to get interactive hardware debugging inside VSCode. That is a game-changer. It would be great to add another tutorial to the series on how to use hardware debug on Windows/Mac/Linux. I have an EDP-Prog (
My take on it is that VSCode / Platformio is extremely convenient for those who are writing complex code that involves (for example) writing new libraries alongside the actual Arduino or ESP code, or working with files of different kinds all next to each other (as in the article summary). And the syntax error underlining and completion tools are helpful.
Thank you for this informative tutorial!
Another HUGE benefit from using PIO is the portability!
When using Arduino IDE, copying a project to another computer involves adding new boards or libraries using the board and library manager (often quite a hassle to satisfy all dependencies).
By using the lib_deps statement in the platformio.ini PIO just downloads missing libraries!
Do you have any keys or suggestions that help with importing Arduino files to Platformio? I have tried and there are some things that are asked by Platformio upon import that I do not understand?
Thanks.
Thank you for your time with an enterprise such as yours I imagine that you are very busy spreading your knowledge of physical computing and networking science.
My issue was with importing Arduino IDE created files into Platformio. I have many many Arduino files and libraries and I was concerned with loosing or changing them to conform to Platformio and not being able to recover them.
I am working with VSCode although I miss how to configure the partitions like the Arduino. I am using an ESP32 and would like to choose Minimal SPIFFS (1.9MB APP with OTA / 190KB SPIFFS) for OTA updates. Thanks, great job greetings.
Hi,
Having purchased your Build Web Servers with ESP32 & ESP8266, and had great fun and learnt a great deal from the tutorials.
I have started a new project to use the ESP8266 based on the knowledge gained from the tutorials.
I would like to add a function that gets called in the main.cpp but I do not want the function to be within the main.cpp as the program is growing fast and I would like to have this called function as a separate file.
The problem I have is how to include a function so that the main.cpp calls this function, and how to be able to declare variables in this function that it will be declared in the main.cpp (so the function will use the data in the variables and then save the modified data into another variable name but to be used by the main.cpp or later by another function), and in which directory do I save the function or functions too?
Thankiny you in advance

Hi!
When I remove all serial/print statements the LED is not blinking at all on my ESP-WROOM-32.
Have you ever tried if the onboard LED is really pinned to GPIO2? From the schematics I do not see an onboard LED either, maybe I got an old /cheap one from Aliexpress even it is black?
How to deal with variables(globals too) and function calls over different .h or .cpp files?
I want to use my code splitted up like the tabs functionality allows it in the Arduino IDE.
Could you show me how to do it?
Thank you. This got me started with VS Code and the ESP32. The only instructions missing were the for the ESP USB driver. I think some mention needs to be made before the running of VS Code because people that are new to the ESP or doing new installs of VS Code or on new computer are likely to run into the problem.
Hi Sara,
I have started using platformio and am facing the issue that when I create new project my project wizard is too slow and is taking too much time and stuck in the project initialization. Kindly guide what can I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Imran
