====== Visual Studio Installation Guide ======

These steps are curtesy of [[:https://github.com/adoucette|Ari]].
  - Install Visual Studio Code
  - Install Platformio extension in VS Code (press Ctrl + Shift +X to bring up the Extensions window, then search for PlatformIO)
  - Install C/C++ Extension Pack in VS Code (as above)
  - Install Git Extension Pack in VS Code (as above)
  - Install the silabs drivers on your computer (not required for Mac users), such as the "CP210x_Universal_Windows_Driver" (Windows users: there will be a "silabser.inf" file.  Right click on this and select "install")


Now you will (finally) be able to connect the device via USB-C cable and LilyGo's "T-U2T" adapter. Ensure the device shows up in device manager (if not you may be a using bad USB cable - trust me and try different cables). When connected, note the COM port number.
In VS Code, click on the PlatformIO icon (looks like a bug/alien head) and choose the option to make a project. Your project name should have no spaces.

The "Board" should be "TTGO T-OI PLUS RISC-V ESP32-C3". Framework is "Arduino"
Then in PlatformIO's platformio.ini file, make sure you have the following:

<code>
[env:ttgo-t-oi-plus]
platform = espressif32
board = ttgo-t-oi-plus
framework = arduino
board_build.mcu = esp32c3
board_build.f_cpu = 160000000L
board_build.filesystem = littlefs
upload_speed = 921600
monitor_speed = 115200
lib_ignore = examples
lib_deps =
    https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/T-ZigBee.git
    bblanchon/ArduinoJson@^6.19.4
    mathertel/OneButton@^2.0.3
