The version of my wpilib vscode is 2021, I tried to install navX FRC Libraries with ' http://www.kauailabs.com/dist/frc/2020/navx_frc.json ' in VSCode by using the command '>WPILib : Manage Vendor Libraries' but failed to build the code.

Then I tried with 'http://www.kauailabs.com/dist/frc/2021/navx_frc.json', and it can't work as well.

VMX-pi supports WPILib 2020.

The navX json files for 2021 and 2022 are used for the navX-MXP and navX-Micro sensors used in FRC and FTC robotics, and will not work with VMX-pi.

VMX support for WPILib 2022 is currently planned to be available after this year's FRC season (and all of the changes to WPILib that will go along with it are completed).

Note that each season's version of WPILib has a matching version of VSCode - and multiple versions of VSCode can be installed at the same time (side-by-side).

Thank you,

would you tell me how to reinstall the wpilib vscode 2020? I tried to install it through the "WPILibInstaller_Windows64-2020.3.2.exe" but failed.
