platformio-vscode-ide VS pigpio

There is a workaround for PlatformIO that I use to get it to work in VSCodium: https://github.com/platformio/platformio-vscode-ide/issues/1...

The PlatformIO extension currently requires Microsoft's proprietary C/C++ extension, so it can't (officially) be used in the Arch community build. Here's a feature request to remove the dependency on the C/C++ extension: https://github.com/platformio/platformio-vscode-ide/issues/1802

There is an open issue on their repo, it seems the ms-vscode.cpptools extension which it depends on isn't open source so it can't be published on Open VSX (the marketplace used by OSS builds of VSCode) until they manage to use the open source alternative as a replacement llvm-vs-code-extensions.vscode-clangd

You might be experiencing a problem that has plagued a lot of people, which is explained in the GitHub issue report. If this is indeed the problem, there are workarounds for it. Good luck!

Thanks for the provided information. There is a reported issue https://github.com/platformio/platformio-vscode-ide/issues/2554 and we work on reproducing. Please follow issue #2554.

I'm trying to install platformio on vscode, but I keep getting this error: Could not start PIO Home server: Error: timeout . It leads you this github page where you are prompted to open the PlatformIO IDE Terminal, but no matter which terminal I open (powershell, cmd, bash) the command is not recognised. What should I do?

You might be better asking on the git repo: https://github.com/joan2937/pigpio

GitHub - joan2937/pigpio: pigpio is a C library for the Raspberry which allows control of the General Purpose Input Outputs (GPIO).

Through this github, I found out I could use this to make it possible, but...(!) it needs to continue the script without exiting because it doesn't see one of the devices.

pigpio: Here is the repo, but the "abyz" link to the documentation looks to be broken. Not sure how to go about getting the daemon to work - I tried sudo pigpiod as the prompt in Python suggests, but sudo: pigpiod: command not found.

The pigpio is an actively developed library with an impressive set of features: All GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi can be read, written to, attached to interrupt handlers, and output PWM signals at the same time. Also, UART, I2C and SPI protocols are implemented. It is written in C and also provides Python bindings. Go to the official Github repository and build the newest version on your Raspberry Pi, or install it with apt install pigpio python-pigpio python3-pigpio.
