pinMode not recognized

[menty666]

I loaded the basic blink sketch, and I'm getting red lines and compilation errors. I could have sworn you mentioned the fix for this in one of your YT videos, but I'm coming up short trying to find it. Help?

I've moved to a Windows 11 based machine

Was there a setting in vs code I needed to change?

There is no setting, for intellisense to work you have to get a first good compile

Thanks for the quick response!

So this is kind of weird...

I wound up installing the official Arduino IDE, largely to get the examples, and I fired up the blink.ino sketch, it compiled, uploaded, blinks.

I copied and pasted the sketch into VSC since I know it's a working sketch. I'm still seeing the errors, but it'll compile, upload, and blink.

Very strange behavior. Particularly weird is that it's not flagging every instance of the function calls. I was going to take another snap, but I see the behavior in the image I originally posted: the first digitalWrite and delay calls are flagged as errors, but not the second.

I guess I can live with it, but any advice is welcome.

I wound up finding a solution with some ChatGPT assistance. Evidently it's a quirk in how VSC sometimes does the analysis of the file and a work around is to just add the #include <Arduino.h> import at the top of the file. I put it in there and the red vanished instantly.

Thanks for letting me know.
