Visual Studio Code IDE and micropython on STM32

[Bortania]

Hello!
Is it possibile to work with micropython using Visual Studio Code? I want to write script in Visual Studio Code and execute it on the STM32 board directly from Visual Studio IDE.
Thanks.

Yes, I use VS Code daily for MicroPython work. I edit files in VS Code and then use mpremote to communicate to the device, often using the mount option.

To execute a specific file on your device, install mpremote, use the terminal built-in to VS Code and execute something like: mpremote run yourfile.py.

Hi! I'm having trouble using mpremote with my Pyboard on COM10.

After connecting, I see this:
PS E:\Thony\Executive> mpremote connect COM10
Connected to MicroPython at COM10
Use Ctrl-] or Ctrl-x to exit this shell
or
PS E:\Thony\Executive> mpremote connect auto
Connected to MicroPython at COM10
Use Ctrl-] or Ctrl-x to exit this shell

But after this, nothing happens. The terminal does not accept any input, and it seems frozen. However, it does react to Ctrl-x or Ctrl-], which just exits the session.

I tried specifying COM10 manually and using auto, but the result is the same. I can't enter any commands in REPL, and the device does not respond.

Could mpremote require any additional dependencies? Are there any settings I should check? I would really appreciate any advice!

I think that VSCode + MicroPico can support stm32 as well , ( at least its predecessor VSCode + Pymakr could)

I know Paul has added a lot of features for the rp2 boards, not sure if that interferes with stm32

and it comes with some nice type-stubs as well 😎
