Is there a Tutorial, Handbook or Wiki available beside the video?

I'm new to VSC and am currently trying out this software. But I'm having trouble with the simplest things. For example, I can't open an existing scratch in VSC so that it's "connected" to this extension. All the core libraries provided by the board are missing. However, if I open a lib example code, it finds the core libraries.
That's probably my fault, a small reference book would be great.
I'm getting along pretty well with the Arduino IDE 2, but I'd like to expand my horizons.

You probably need to familiarize with how the workspaces works in vscode, there are multiple ways of using them : https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/workspaces/workspaces

Thank you. This is right. If I open the folder and not the file it works. May be you should write this hint somewhere for VSC greenhorns like me :-)
Compiling and upload run well right now. But I'm not able to start the Serial monitor. Is there any trick?
Thank you and regards.

you have to set it in the home :

[Zeppelin500]

Yes, same port as for upload. Upload works well. But nothing there after upload. And I`m sure the bord is sending messages.

Try opening it manually using the serial monitor : [image: image.png] Le ven. 14 mars 2025 à 17:34, Zeppelin500 ***@***.***> a écrit :

Something is wrong with the upload of your screenshot.

Mmh, I can't find this window. Under my "serial monitor" tab is nothing. See my Screenshot above.

Make sure the Serial Monitor extension is installed :

You open it by clicking the menu hide under the ...:

[Zeppelin500]

Yes, it was installed. But my Serial Monitor tab is empty.

[thelastoutpostworkshop]

The Serial monitor extension maybe in conflict with another extensions installed, I see a "ports" tab. Try disabling unneeded extensions.

[Zeppelin500]

it is a clean new install of VSC

[Zeppelin500]

yes, Linux Mint

[thelastoutpostworkshop]

Try disabling the Arduino Maker Workshop extension to see if the Serial Monitor show something

[Zeppelin500]

Got it.
VSC is a flatpack as standard and lives in a sandbox without connection to ports.
My solution is this.

Thank you for your help

No problem
