It took me pretty ...Wow -- you weren't kidding! It took me pretty much all afternoon, but I got it installed and configured, and it totally works. It was a lot of work to set it up, but it's totally worth it, particularly for folks who don't feel completely comfortable on the command line. <br /><br />It's awesome to simply hit a couple of keys within your editing environment and have the project upload and start running. It's also nice to see readable error messages when it doesn't.<br /><br />Altogether, VSC is probably the best setup we have so far for blind Arduino development.<br /><br />The biggest problem I found during installation was the ghost messages and controls in the installer dialog. They can be extremely confusing because it's sometimes quite hard to tell which messages and buttons are real, and which are phantoms that aren't showing up on the screen. Nevertheless, I did get through it without needing to bring in someone with eyes.<br /><br />Thanks for documenting this for us -- awesome job!<br />Joshua Mielehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928809284167684237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-498071590791194008.post-81848077930703979922016-05-23T10:34:03.955-07:002016-05-23T10:34:03.955-07:00Chancey: Thanks SOO much for putting together this...Chancey: Thanks SOO much for putting together this awesome guide to getting up and running with VS and Arduino. I'm looking forward to getting this set up as soon as I have a free afternoon. :-)<br /><br />It looks a whole lot easier to use than the command line interface, so I'm really excited about getting beginners up and running with this development environment. <br /><br />Thanks again for doing this, and thanks to Ken Perry of <a href="http://aph.org" rel="nofollow">the American Printing House for the Blind</a> for blazing this trail for the community!Joshua Mielehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928809284167684237noreply@blogger.com
