Arduino IDE Alternative

[Dorothy306]

Hello, does anyone if there is an alternative to the Arduino IDE that can program the Codrone? I found PlatformIO that is an add-on to Visual Studio Code and was able to program my Arduino board.

Thank you

The great people at PlatformIO are helping me get the their plug-in to Visual Studio code working.

They are very helpful.

Perhaps you could try to and maybe we will get it working faster.

Thanks

I'm trying to get it to work. Will let you know how things work out.

Respectfully,

Hi @Dorothy306, we haven't tried this yet but you can try it! However, you may need to provide the board files for Rokit as you did for Arduino. If you can get it to work, please let us know! I will experiment as well
