Compiling Marlin 2 0 with VsCode and PlatformIO

With all the buzz around the new version of marlin we dive into how to set up our favorite editor Vscode with the PlatformIO IDE to get new firmware on your 3D printer controller! This is especially relivent for the new 32 bit controllers (skr 1.3) and our older 8bit controllers. Come join us and get your firmware flashed and up to date.

Additional:
VsCode will call Github for some requirements for boards not installed by default so it will just save time to install in advance and you will skip all those neat errors.

THIS IS AWESOME! I was just able to get this compiled. Your video was by far the best, and most concise out there. Great job David! Thank you!!

[royalflush]

PERFECT!!!! Been trying for months to compile Marlin with Atom WITHOUT success. Thanks, you deserve a thumbs up.

[TechnoGeekD]

Brilliant video, followed this whilst configuring firmware for my SKR E3 V2 and this made my life so much easier! Thank you my man!

[TDHobbies]

this video helped get me going, others I have seen skip a step here and there or they expect you to know everything, yet they refer to video as a full tutorial. Thanks

[mls]

This is the most straightforward and best paced video on this you!

[NemesisZer]

Many thanks.
I was completely stuck following other tutorials that told me to use autobuild marlin extension and this video has really helped me to compile the firmware as I wanted it and without errors

Just like many others David, I love this video it has got me started with VSC and Platformio with ease. Other sources I have tried are either too technical, unstructured or like a couple of other videos, too fast to follow. The latter type following the general Techie method when teaching a tyro -" just go click here, go there Insert this here..." - etc without stopping to show detail and assuming a level of knowledge that the general viewer probably doesn't have. If I was Tech aware enough to follow those videos I wouldn't need to follow them!! Yours however are at a perfect level and speed with enough detail for tyros such as me to follow without being patronising, plus you have a great presentation method - calm and explanatory, easy to understand and follow which is rare in the Tech world.
I suspect that you are a teacher of some kind, but thank you, you have saved me from tearing out what little hair I have left!! To paraphrase Gloria Gaynor - "I will subscribe"

[vegansynths]

You are an excellent teacher. You don't go off on tangents, you explain the why of it all and you repeat directions in specific areas that can easily be overlooked or missed. Thank you for this excellent explanation and tutorial.

[GabrielOfGore]

Thanks. This really helped. Most intros to IDEs skip some essential steps, but this video doesn't.

[littlechrisw]

This is the video I've been looking for! Thanks for the great explanation of everything.

[germas]

Thank you so much for the help! Im using platformIO for the first time and was struggling a little bit. Now ive downloaded some custom firmware and made my own changes, thanks again for the help!

[papamidnightfpv]

Great video. Never used vs code before and this made a lot more sense if how it's supposed to work and where things are. Great job, thanks

[superz]

Awesome. SIMPLY straight forward with a ton of info. Thanks BOSS!!!

[richardcox]

I'm halfway through this but ive gotta say I love your vibe

[robertcookson]

Thanks for the video. most helpful, especially your mention of the Upload button/function! The Platform IO upload helps especially if you are using a MAC as the .pio folder is hidden within MAC FINDER (explorer) as a 'dot' folder is a hidden folder (nb. something worth mentioning to the viewers. I spent hours trying to figure what I had done wrong post compiling my first code when all along it was simply hidden - also can press CMD+SHIFT+DOT to reveal). Thanks again!

[BNSipodtouch]

Dude this video is so straight forward and easy to understand thank you so much I’m now interested in coding and compiling fw

[samsteel]

Great video full of fantastic information. Cheers and much thanks for taking the time to make it. Subbed and liked.

[eekeek]

Thank you, I like your tutorials there AWESOME!!!! I am actually learning VSC from your videos to update my printers. Again Thank you :) Great job man.

[ThePhilbox]

Awesome!! Got me some custom FW for my X1 now. Thanks brother!
