Visual Studio Code - i want to get it to work with the ESP8266 


Question


Visual Studio Code - i want to get it to work with the ESP8266 


which extensions do i need to add? 

 


The whole design of Visual Studio Code is so that it should be easily be configured for any development language using these extensions.

do i need to install the Arduino IDE? 


if i am able to go roound the Arduino IDE  - i would be happy. 


Like most of the IDE's I have tried, they rely on the Arduino IDE for all the libraries. - but if i am able to work with VS-Stidio-Code and ESP 8266 directly i would be happy.

 

how to set it up  and to make sure that i have fully configured Visual Studio Code to work with all the necessary  add-on for ESP8266 

which extensions i should add and install? 

 

note: i am on Windows 7

    • "Asus points out the security aspect, that you will lose support and thus there will be no security updates leaving your system exposed" Both Microsoft (for 3 years) and 0patch (for 5 years) offer ongoing security patches for a fee. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...w/extended-security-updates https://blog.0patch.com/2024/0...windows-10-with-0patch.html
    • I won't switch to W11 at home until I absolutely have to. This deadline depends on how long third-party software will be supported on W10 (such as browsers and image viewers and so on). I estimate that migration will be necessary around 2028, when the ESU program expires, but we'll see.
    • "not so intelligent after all" may be the best summary of this whole mess. And yeah, those opt-outs are practically hidden like Easter eggs, if you're lucky enough to even find them.
    • Asus joins Microsoft, AMD, Dell, urges you to "prepare for mandatory Windows 11 upgrade" by Sayan Sen Sometime earlier this year, Microsoft quietly updated the minimum CPU requirements guidance for Windows 11 24H2. Neowin noticed the change this past week as the support document now classifies a family of CPUs from each vendor, AMD, Intel, and Qualcomm, such that users find it easier to make out which processors are capable of being Copilot+ PC certified. Major OEM and hardware manufacturer Asus recently published a couple of blog posts regarding the upcoming Windows 10 end of support. The company says that it is now time to "prepare for the mandatory Windows 11 upgrade" by taking "essential steps." It writes: "With a mandatory Windows update on the horizon, there are essential steps you should take to ensure a smooth upgrade experience. Proper preparation will not only safeguard your files and system but will also allow you to take full advantage of the innovative features Windows 11 has to offer..." If you are on Windows 10 and are wondering why should you even bother upgrading, Asus points out the security aspect, that you will lose support and thus there will be no security updates, leaving your system exposed. The firm is certainly right, there are real dangers out there. For example, the Lumma infostealer impacted over 394,000 PCs worldwide (download this Defender definition for new ISO installations). Even official Windows files and folders can be vulnerable as we saw with the inetpub folder. However, Asus wants you to get excited about Copilot, the new AI assistant that Microsoft has been busy pushing everywhere on its apps and services. Echoing the same sentiment as Microsoft, and others like Dell and AMD, Asus says Copilot is what sets Windows 11 apart from 10 as it writes: "What makes Windows 11 different? One word: Copilot. ... If you’ve ever wished your computer could just “do the thing” you’re trying to describe — Copilot is your new best friend." Asus also says that you will be making the "smart move" by switching to Windows 11 now from 10. In the blog post under a subheading titled "It’s Not Just an Upgrade, It’s a Smart Move." The Taiwanese firm writes, "Upgrading to Windows 11 isn’t just about staying current ― it’s also about staying safe, working smarter, and getting more out of your computer every day." As such, the company also published a guide on how to proceed with the upgrade. Do you agree with Asus? When are you upgrading? Let us know below!
