- Thu Apr 30, 2020 12:19 pm #86836 Yes - use the VSC with PIO plugin - you don't need Arduino IDE. If there is any library missing, you have two options:
1. add missing library in platformio.ini lib_deps section (if the library exist in PIO library list, or you have git(hub) repository link)
2. create `lib` folder at the same level as 'src' folder is and unpack all missing libraries into this folder

- Fri May 01, 2020 4:40 am #86845 Thanks for the pointers, I am making progress! I am now compiling but I think I haven't edited the config correctly, as it says values are not decalred. Here's a small snippet:

Here is the config file, have I done something obviously incorrect?

Most of it was commented out. Have I messed it up?

- Fri May 01, 2020 5:17 am #86849 It seems like the config file is wrongly formatted (plenty of missing # before `define` and `ifdef`) so it's hard to say what you did wrong. Did you rename the file? Did you try to understand, what is compiler saying (LED_TYPE was not delcared in this scope) and try to figure out why it says so?

- Fri May 01, 2020 5:30 am #86851 Fixed it, I screwed up the config. I wrongly assumed # was a comment marker. I have moved further along but now it says this:

Does this mean the library code has changed and is now incompatible?
