These instructions will help you get up and running with style using VS Code for your DMFX development. VS Code is a real IDE and is much easier to use for experienced devlopers than Arduino.
- Install Arduino IDE
- Install and Launch VS Code
- Open the Extensions manager
- Search for the "Arduino for Visual Studio Code" extension (it has >1.5M downloads) and install it
- Connect the DMFX pedal to your computer.
- Open "DMFX Arduino.code-workspace" in VS Code "File > Open Workspace..."
- Open "settings.json" in the project and configure
arduino.pathas appropriate for your machine. - Open the command palette and choose "Arduino: Select Serial Port" and choose the port that the DMFX is attached to; if you're lucky it will be labeled "Run Jump Labs"
- Click on the
DMFX_Hello_World.inofile. Once selected, you should see icons in the top-right corner for "Upload" and "Verify" (compile). - Try "Upload" and it should work!
