A Visual Studio Code extension for developing, building, and uploading Arduino sketches, with IntelliSense, board/library managers, and a serial monitor. It is officially deprecated and no longer maintained as of October 2024.
Use cases
- develop arduino sketches in vscode
- upload code to arduino board from editor
- arduino intellisense and syntax highlighting
- manage arduino boards and libraries in vscode
- serial monitor for arduino debugging
When to choose
- you are on an old VS Code setup and already have it installed
- you need legacy Arduino IDE 1.x integration in VS Code
When to avoid
- starting a new Arduino project - use Arduino IDE 2 or Arduino CLI instead
- you expect updates or marketplace availability
- you use Arduino IDE 2.x, which is unsupported
