vscode "#include errors detected. Please update your includePath

Question

I\'m trying to use vscode with arduino but have no success. The problem seems to be something with the libraries path. But I havent been able to fix that ! I\'m on linux.

Answer 1

This is due to the extension is missing some includepath when initialize

add the missing lines into your c_cpp_properties.json

"includePath": [
"\\tools\\**",
"\\hardware\\arduino\\avr\\**",
"\\hardware\\tools\\**",
"\\hardware\\arduino\\avr\\cores\\arduino"
]

Also add "defines": [ "USBCON" ] under "configurations" to make Serial class work with intellisense
