VSCode & Platformio

Prepare the development environment

• Download and install VSCode

• Add PlatformIO IDE extension to VSCode

Note:

Platformio stopped support with espressif for esp32 since 3.0 core update, a community project pioarduino is now used for esp32 instead, the tests are done using arduino esp32 core 3.0.4 / IDF 5.1.4.

platform = https://github.com/pioarduino/platform-espressif32/releases/download/51.03.04/platform-espressif32.zip

Open the ESP3D directory folder in VSCode

The first time you open the project, vscode need to download all necessary files, so be patient

You can also generate it, using the ESP3D configurator, which simplify a lot this step.
