1 year ago @Turro75 Thanks for those great tips!
My understanding is that:
- Manually or automatically we can check the environment variable $PICO_SDK_PATH. If exists, the output can be shorten with the env key. Also, possibly a double quote and comma can be added (not sure how I can reproduce this yet, but let me try).
- I didn't know if arduino.json can be used to suppress Intellisense's intervention. I will update the section 4 with that method.
First of All many thanks for Your work, it helped me getting a well working pico development suite (I'm on Ubuntu).
Just a couple of improvements:
I deleted the picosdk included in the arduino-pico framework and I created a symlink to the actual sdk. Then, if You use the PICO_SDK_PATH instead of an absolute path the "c_cpp_properties.json" becames more generic:

last thing: You can disable intellisense directly in the arduino.json file so no need to create a settings.json for that purpose only.
