microbit READMEBasic support for micro:bit with MicroPython in Visual Studio Code. FeaturesAllows code to be compiled onto a micro:bit, and also provides a basic stub of the micro:bit library, so that you can take advantage of Visual Studio Code's features, like Intellisense. Adds two commands to Visual Studio Code: Fetch and Build, Fetch will get the stub micro:bit module from Github, and Build builds the current file to your micro:bit. Build uses Control + F5 by default on Windows, and Command + F5 on MacOS, but may also be accessed from the title bar, when editing python programs. RequirementsTo build
