Programmer setting is ignored, causing upload to fail #1722

Open kaysond opened 6 months ago

kaysond commented 6 months ago

I have a USBASP programmer, and my arduino.json has "programmer": "usbasp". I have no choice but to set a COM port, or the extension won't allow me to upload In this case I used "port": "port" as suggested in https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-arduino/issues/630#issuecomment-641699390. The programmer setting then seems to be ignored, as avrdude tries to upload via the com port even though I've selected my programmer.

This looks like a pretty easy fix, and I'd be happy to submit the PR if you'll merge it.

Update src/arduinio/programmer.ts to parse *.communication from programmers.txt.

Update https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-arduino/blob/4ecf9e431708f44be238f4a3974109dab6f7b2ba/src/arduino/arduino.ts#L629-L644

to only call selectSerial and push the argument if *.communication === "serial

Bumping. @gcampbell-msft - is this project still active?

Hi, we see this as a feature request. At this time we don't plan on supporting this scenario.

You don't plan on supporting USB programmers?

itodirel commented 6 months ago

We don't plan on supporting the scenario you outlined. If you connect an Arduino via USB and use the built-in bootloader, that's the only scenario we support and that should work. If you have issues with that scenario, let us know.

That's disappointing. Why such limited support? There seems to be a lot of interest from the community to improve the extension, but not so much from Microsoft to accept the help...

Please support this scenario. the core of teh arduino is being able to programm arduino boards. If the bootloader is missing, using a usbasp, same for debugging

buiapp commented 2 months ago

Please support this. Because of this missing feature my team can't completely ditch the Arduino IDE.
