IntelliSense features for this translation unit (/home/harold/Arduino/Saaf_Curing/Saaf_Curing.ino) will be provided by the Tag Parser. could not open source file "Wire.h" (no directories in search list) Code (C++) #include <Wire.h> // pour l'I2C avec SDA sur pin A4 et scl sur A5 #include <Adafruit_MCP4725.h> // I2C device #include <SPI.h> // pour le SPI #include "Adafruit_MAX31855.h" // SPI device #include <Adafr#include <Wire.h>uit_ADS1015.h> #include <PID_v1.h> // bibliothèque régulateur PID #define ledPin 13 . . .

	This is the wrong forum. This forum is for the Arduino extension for Visual Studio and the free Visual Studio Community version. VsCode is a cut down IDE that is different to Visual Studio.

	Sorry I'm lost with all these different terms ! In fact I'm with Visual Studio Code. Visual Studio Code Version: 1.25.0 Commit: 0f080e5267e829de46638128001aeb7ca2d6d50e Date: 2018-07-05T13:10:37.273Z Electron: 1.7.12 Chrome: 58.0.3029.110 Node.js: 7.9.0 V8: 5.8.283.38 Architecture: x64

	Hi, No problem, Microsoft have confused things. Your are using VsCode, this is not the forum for that. This forum is for the Visual Micro Arduino extension for Visual Studio which you have not installed. Visual Micro does not support VsCode.

	So to be clear there is VsCode (same as Visual Studio Code) which I've installed. And there is Visual Studio which is different (the right forum for it) What is best ? I'm looking for a better IDE than Arduino ! Something not confusing please ! Even google doesn't give straight and unconfusing response !

	If you are a windows users Visual Studio is a more mature IDE with toolbar and menus like a normal app so can be easier. Visual Micro builds faster than Arduino in Visual Studio Code bu it depends on your preference. If you have installed the arduino ide and you are novice then make sure you install the Release IDE and not nightly build or beta otherwise you will confuse things even more. If you install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition make sure you click the option to install the C++ stuff when prompted. Then run the Ide and click "Tools>Extensions and Updates", search for Arduino for Visual Studio if it isn't near the top of the list when the window opens. Then click Install and you are done.

	So what is Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition ? VsCode or VS ? Visual Micro goes with VS or with VsCode . I'm not a windows user.

Right ? So your 2 previous post are confusing ! Who is making VsCode ? Who is making Visual Studio ? Who is making Visual Micro ? Do they run on Linux ? Are they open source ? At least the responses might clear things a bit. This is far from being clear, indeed.

	Arduino extension for Visual Studio is Visual Micro. This forum and what is shown during download from the Microsoft Gallery. It's probably easier for you to say what you have what you need. If you have Linux you are in the wrong forum. You need to be in the VsCode forum. Microsoft make both VsCode and Visual Studio. The plugins/extensions for each IDE are by various authors. Visual Studio has been around for many years but only for windows users. VsCode a new IDE that is a little like an enhanced text editor for Mac, Linux, Windows. All the best.
