Develop Arduino with vscode @Ubuntu

The environment is Ubuntu 20.

Download and install Arduino in/opt /.

wget https://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino-1.8.13-linux64.tar.xz ;
tar xvf arduino-1.8.13-linux64.tar.xz ;
sudo mv arduino-1.8.13-linux64 /opt/ ;
cd opt arduino-1.8.13-linux64/ ;
sudo ./install ;

vscode installation

Download from the official website

https://code.visualstudio.com/download

Since it is Ubuntu, select deb to download the file and install it.

sudo apt install ~/Downloads/code_* ;

launch vscode

code ;

Make vscode recognize Arduino.

First, install the extension Arduino (made by Microsoft)

Next, set the path of the installed Arduino in/opt /. Open the settings screen

Example)

Upload sketch to board

ctrl + alt + u

Specify serial port Example) ttyUSB0

Allows the usb serial port to be written.

sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyUSB0 ;

However, since it is troublesome to type the command every time, I will write the rule in udev.

sudo gedit /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules;

# serial
KERNEL=="tty[A-Z]*[0-9]|pppox[0-9]*|ircomm[0-9]*|noz[0-9]*|rfcomm[0-9]*", GROUP="dialout", MODE="0666"

Serial monitor display

ctrl + shift + p

Arduino:Open Serial Monitor

I often use it, so I think you can assign a shortcut by clicking the gear next to the text.

Specify the transfer speed for the USB type. Click the number 115200 at the bottom right of the window Example) 9600
