why the hell wouldn't you have the option of using arduino ied??????????????

[akaJes]

if the buttons compile/flash disabled - you need to restart application you can use arduino also - just open the same folder from it

[NNygren]

Mitch, you're being rude while asking for help. If you want to use Arduino go right ahead.

[Bazeone]

I'm also having this issue. I've installed platformio as described in the guilde and it's not seeing it's installed. The buttons are not disabled, but when you click on them a message pops up saying to install platformio.

[akaJes]

if you type in console pio or platformio and get an error - it means that PlatformIO not installed properly my application just checks it before - if not - shows poupup

[Bazeone]

They both work via console, but still getting the popup.

[akaJes]

what OS do you use? it was tested on ubuntu and windows, i have no mac

[Bazeone]

i'm on macOS Sierra 10.12.5

[NNygren]

This might be related to the pyserial bug in PlatformIO https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/commit/a37eb9868f3b20e982d0c3cd1a742fcb8ab60efc

I suspect that, because PlatformIO is unable to be called while this bug exists, that's why Marlin-Config doesn't think it is installed.

[NNygren]

Downgrade pyserial and see if it works. Update: At least on my linux box, confirmed that downgrading from python2-pyserial 3.3.1 to 3.2 fixed the platformio not launching.

[akaJes]

I see another one simple solution: Try to upgrade to dev version

# uninstall existing version
pip uninstall platformio

# install the latest development version of PlatformIO
pip install -U https://github.com/platformio/platformio-core/archive/develop.zip

[akaJes]

I have build test release for macos with the console support and pio fixes

[NNygren]

Tested with OS X Sierra and working.

[akaJes]

Does the console work also? because i did it on ubuntu under vmware with pc-hackintosh

[NNygren]

I can't test it out; at the moment my printer is connected to my linux box.
