ESP-IDF, MSYS2, and VSC Video Posted

[mikemoy]

I posted a video how to get Microsoft Visual Studio working with ESP-IDF. Of all the other ways I have tried this, this one is by far the best (IMHO).

First, lets give thanks... @WiFive shared this link with me:
https://github.com/VirgiliaBeatrice/esp ... utorial.md

So credit to both these people because with out them I don't think I could have pulled it off any time soon.
Maybe we can get Mr. kolban to do a video on this one day as he is awesome when it comes to "technical tutorials"
Here is the video link:

Amazing job! Thanks man. This is a big step for making a better development for ESP32.
Some things might be automated better in the future with C# applications controlling VSC

Thanks for posting this! It went much easier than Eclipse, and finding it to be easier to use as well; haven't experienced the numerous errors with files not being found that I experienced with Eclipse.

I'm running on Ubuntu, and the instructions worked pretty well on that platform too.

Hi,

I try to follow the instructions in the tutorial, but the link to openocd-0.10.0-dev-gcdaf22fd appears dead...

Where can I download this file ?

Thanks,

Paul

Paul, I just clicked on the link in the video description, and it works for me.

Thanks for the fast reply !!

I can open the tutorial page, but not the link to download the openocd. (https://github.com/VirgiliaBeatrice/esp ... lob/master)....

thanks.

Paul.

@Paul, I looked at the link you gave and its not correct, not sure why.
This one is correct, and the same one on the video page.

@PaulVdBergh is right. The link to the tutorial is correct.
However, there is one more link given in the tutorial to download openocd-0.10.0-dev-gcdaf22fd https://github.com/VirgiliaBeatrice/esp ... lob/master which is incorrect.

@PaulVdBergh did you find correct link ?
