Welcome! We are working hard to improve your experience and appreciate your patience and support. Features and functionality will remain in active development. Your feedback is invaluable to us. Please report any bugs or suggestions for enhancements.
MPLAB extensions are provided by Microchip Technology Inc. for designing, debugging, and programming embedded systems based on their microcontrollers and digital signal controllers.
The MPLAB® Extension Pack provides a collection of Microchip extensions for Visual Studio Code, enabling embedded software development for Microchip microcontrollers and digital signal controllers.
Your feedback is important in helping us improve MPLAB extensions for VS Code. Please report any bugs or suggestions for enhancements.
CLI Support: If you want to use a command line interface for building projects, installing device packs, or programming devices - for instance in a CI/CD setup or for automation - you can use the MPLAB CLI. The MPLAB CLI does not require VS Code. Follow the instructions on the npm page to get started.
