VS Code access Circuit Python Add-On

Post by blakebr »

Hello,

I have installed VS Code and the CircuitPython package. How do I got the CP package to monitor my code? I have clicked on anything I can find, but PyLance won't get out of the way. Please embarrass me with the simple solution. ;-)

I originally tried VSCode as I use it for a lot of other work and it usually does a good job. I set it up as best as I could for Circuit Python and tried tweaking it, searching forums for answers to issues I seen, etc. Finally I gave up on it and switched to PyCharm after reading Adafruit's guide: https://learn.adafruit.com/welcome-to-c ... cuitpython

I'm not saying switch your editor but I am saying for me I've had a lot less issues with PyCharm and Circuit Python than I did with VSCode (and even trying various plugins).

Good luck either way, I hope it works out.

Chad,

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll take a look at PyCharm.
