arduino-cli VS theia

This isn't a USB error. It seems to be the result of the compiler not finding some sort of java signature file(?). Looks like it's a Mac thing and started with IDE 2.0.1. Maybe update IDE? https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/issues/1970

The Arduino community has been buzzing with excitement over the recent release of the new version of the Arduino Command Line Interface (CLI), version 0.30.0. This new version offers several exciting new features and improvements that are sure to delight Arduino enthusiasts and makers everywhere.

There's a vscode extension you can install that uses the arduino backend to compile and upload new sketches. You'll have to have the IDE/CLI already installed. If you want to avoid the IDE entirely I'd recommend the CLI available on github here and the instructions for the vscode extension can be found on circuitstate here. Good luck!

I think you're looking for the underlying arduino-cli tool, rather than calling against the IDE directly.

Yep! Or their CLI version: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli

If you're going to program the Uno away from the Arduino IDE, they have a nice CLI support for it, too. https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli

I never tried it on a Pi Zero, but did you download the ARMv6 version?

In August 2018, Arduino announced its new open source command line tool (arduino-cli), which can be used as a replacement of the IDE to program the boards from a shell.[22]

Would the Arduino-CLI work for you? https://arduino.github.io/arduino-cli/0.20/ and https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli

As an alternative to VSCode, consider Theia[1].

Open-source, runs all the VSCode extensions, etc.

Please choose any desired IDE tool to add the below Python script. In my case, I have used Theia-IDE for convenience.

Its based on https://theia-ide.org/

Eclipse runs the Open VSX registry that VS Codium uses. Eclipse also has a fork of VS Code called Theia.

eclipse theia is that alternative, almost same as vscode but even better (more extensible, portable, etc), and even the fsf regards the eclipse license as free software, and in any case, if you're not happy with the eclipse license you can have it under the GPL anyway, it's dual license https://theia-ide.org/

The new 2.0 IDE is based on [Eclipse Theia](https://theia-ide.org

You should also take a look at Theia, which provides in some respects (e.g., graphical plugins) a more powerful alternative to the VSCode editing shell.
