How to install platformIO and create a new project on platformIO.

Install Vscode

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight but powerful source code editor which runs on your desktop and is available for Windows, macOS and Linux. It comes with built-in support for JavaScript, TypeScript and Node.js and has a rich ecosystem of extensions for other languages (such as C++, C#, Java, Python, PHP, Go) and runtimes (such as .NET and Unity).

2.Fill in the project name, board and frame. Project name on the basis of personal interests, because I am using bpi:bit board, so here I chose the bpibit board. Selecting the bpibit board will automatically select the frame. Below is the choice to save the address, generally the default, as long as the hook removed, you can choose to customize the address
