“In particular, for the MCU domain, there are millions of Arduino developers demanding advanced features to make their development with devices easier. “Our team at Visual Studio IoT researched the tools developers are using today, interviewed many developers to learn about their pain points developing IoT applications, and found that of all layers of IoT, there are abundant dev tools for cloud, gateway, interactive devices, and industrial devices, but limited availability and capability for micro-controllers and sensors,” wrote Zhidi Shang, a Microsoft Program Manager for the project. In this release, the Visual Studio IoT team integrated debugging features into the extension, which is currently unique in Arduino development. Now developers can easily code, build, and deploy Arduino sketches in Visual Studio Code, which is Microsoft’s lightweight but powerful source code editor that is available for free on Windows, macOS and Linux.
The extension is consistent and compatible with the official Arduino IDE. This week, Microsoft announced that the Arduino extension for Visual Studio Code is now open source.
