Use VS Code Arduino plugin with ESP32

Postby ahue32 » Thu Jan 18, 2018 9:16 am

Hello,

I am trying to use Visual Studio Code to program my Adafruit HUZZAH32 Feather. The problem is, that it is impossible for me to select the right board type. I managed to install the esp8266 package via board manager and tried to put the path to the json of esp32 in the settings:

Code: Select all

    "arduino.path": "C:\\Users\\me\\Desktop\\arduino-1.8.4",
    "workbench.panel.location": "right",
    "http.proxy": ,
    "arduino.additionalUrls": [
        "https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/package/package_esp32_index.template.json"
    ],
    "window.zoomLevel": 0
You can follow the link to see what it looks like.


However, when I click "refresh package indexes", the file gets changed to this:

Code: Select all

and I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Ausgew�hltes Board ist nicht verf�gbar
Picked up _JAVA_OPTIONS: -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
[Done] Updated package index files.
[Error] Invalid json file "C:\Users\HUA1WA3\AppData\Local\Arduino15\package_esp32_index.template.json".
            Suggest to remove it manually and allow boardmanager to re-download it.

            Suggest to remove it manually and allow boardmanager to re-download it.
I can then change the file manually and the package appears in the board manager, but the "install" button is not clickable. Can anyone help?
