2 months ago Oh, and I should add that if I bring up a CMD window and type:
python --version
it does indeed show the python version (3.12.3).
So it sure looks like python is installed.

I'm having difficulty getting everything set up so that I can use VSCode to edit the Prusa Firmware and then build (make?) it.
I'm following the instructions in the README file and have installed . . .
Visual Studio Code CMake Tools plugin Python Git Bash
and then I clone the repository . . .
git clone https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware
And that seems to go OK. I see a folder for Prusa-Firmware with a lot of folders and files in it.
It then tells me to:
_Open the Prusa-Firmware folder in VScode.
Open a new terminal in VScode (Terminal→New Terminal) and run
python .\utils\bootstrap.py_
which I do. README then says:
This will download all dependencies required to build the firmware. You should see a .dependencies folder in the Prusa-Firmware folder.
And I do indeed see a .dependencies folder.
README tells me:
Reload VScode. If all works correctly you should see the VScode automatically configuring the CMake project for you.
I do indeed reload VSCode and my Prusa-Firmware folder is automatically opened .
BUT, it shows a lot of OUTPUT with ERRORS indicated in it. Several NOENT plus a Python3 Not Found

The README file says that if there's problems I can try two things:
1)Type Ctrl+Shift+P and search for CMake: Select a Kit. Select avr-gcc. If none appear, Scan for kits first.
2) If 1) does not work for some reason, as a last resort you can edit the CMake Tools settings. Search for "Additional Kits" and add .vscode/cmake-kits.json to the list.
I tried (1) and I get:
Select a Kit for Prusa-Firmware
[Scan for kits] Search for compilers on this computer [Unspecified] Unspecified (Let CMake guess what compilers and environment to use) avr-gcc Kit for toolchain file c\Prusa-Firmware/cmake/AvrGcc.cmake Visual Studio Community 2022 Release - amd64 Using compilers for 17.8.5 (x64 architecture) Visual Studio Community 2022 Release - amd64_x86 Using compilers for 17.8.5 (x64_x86 architecture) Visual Studio Community 2022 Release - x86 Using compilers for 17.8.5 (x86 architecture) Visual Studio Community 2022 Release - x86_amd64 Using compilers for 17.8.5 (x86_x64 architecture)
It does show avr-gcc, but clicking on it does nothing.
I try (2) but when I do a search for "Additional kits" nothing comes up and there's no way (that I can see) to add .vscode/cmake-kits.json to the list .
So I'm at a loss as to what I need to do how, or what I've done wrong.
I HOPE someone has some suggestions.
