It's written for exploit development, but even for debugging a C program. It makes things a lot nicer.

We searched for other IDEs that would be simple to use, allow easy import of Arduino libraries, and upload the code on the board. I wanted something of the like of Atom editor, but it was not supported on Raspberry Pi (and deprecated now). We found that PlatformIO could be an option. It is a plugin in VSCode that can manage many type of boards. We went ahead, installed VScode, then the PlatformIO extension. We opened a terminal in VScode with Q chat, and voila! Valentin could finally continue to play with a more stable solution. He had a simple way to code, compile, and push code on the Arduino.
