Creating a new project
Welcome to the PlatformIO and VSCode Nibble programming guide. We'll use PlatformIO and VSCode to teach you how to upload code to your Nibble, so let's get started!
Installation
Before starting make sure to download and install Visual Studio Code. You can do that right here.
Go to the Extensions tab and type PlatformIO. Then click Install.
When prompted by PlatformIO, restart VSCode.
Creating a new project
Once you're on PlatformIO's home page, select New Project. The program will then prompt you to choose a name for your project so be creative. We're going to start with a simple Hello World.
Type in esp-12 and select the Espressif ESP8266 ESP-12E board from the boards dropdown menu.
Leave the Framework option on Arduino. The default project path on Windows is Documents/PlatformIO/Projects, but you’re free to save it wherever you like.
After clicking Finish, you’ll need to wait a bit while the board files are downloaded.
