Welcome to u-blox Script IDE for Visual Studio Code!
About
u-blox NINA-B3 modules supports a light scripting environment as a subset of mjs (itself a subset of Javascript).
This extension leverages Visual Studio Code to provide intelliSense and syntax highlighting for Javascript.
Additionally the extension has a small built in serial bridge allowing you to manipulate the device from the IDE.
