Some needs arised …

… during the video presentation (see previous article):

1. The “.json” files needed an upgrade due to some new modifications in version 1.30.2 of Visual Studio Code. Instead of chasing VSCode, I try to identify variables that are consistent (contradiction?) throughout versions. This way, the new modifications won’t affect older versions.

2. VSCode has an Arduino extension from which you can use the Serial Terminal (the best serial terminal available for VSCode) so you need to specify the name of Arduino folder that is in the home folder. A wrong name won’t affect the functionality of VPC. So I included a “folder field” in the “Setting Environment” dialog.

Note: after compiling the new version of VPC, if there is the case, delete the hidden “.vsc.xml” file that reside in the home folder. Otherwise you’ll get a message error.
