What have YOU done with your Raspberry Pi? Sound off in the comments. Once you've updated to a newer VNC you can run VS CodeĬheck out MarchIsForMakers all month long as we partner with CodeNewbies and play and learn with maker hardware! Last week we unboxed my Raspberry Pi 3, set it up, and got it to blink an LED! RealVNC is a commercial product but they'll give you a free license for your Raspberry Pi. Consider using RealVNC or TigerVNC for your Raspberry Pi, rather than the older TightVNC. Note: Electron and Chromium underneath it use some very specific features of X Servers like "xrandr" for dynamic resizing and you may have trouble getting Visual Studio Code to run under a remote VNC session. This took the Raspberry Pi 3 about 20 minutes so be patient. Then, from my Raspberry Pi, I did this to build my own instance of VS Code.
There are some NPM native modules like node-native-keymap that didn't work when I built the first time, so you'll need some supporting libraries first: sudo apt-get install libx11-dev
The Pi has Python but it has an old node, so needed a newer node that ran on ARM processors. Compiling Visual Studio Code on a Raspberry Pi 3įrom the VS Code GitHub, you need Node, npm, and Python. You can also setup your Raspberry Pi to share the clipboard so you can copy from Windows and Paste into the VNC window when you are remoted into your Pi.īut why not build Visual Studio Code and get it running natively on the Pi? Marc Gravell did it first on Twitter, but I wanted to figure out how he did it and if it was still possible (he did it before some significant refactoring) and also to see if VS Code was faster (or even usable) on a Rasberry Pi 3. I also recommend folks setup a VNC Server for their Raspberry Pi so you can TightVNC (meaning, remote in and control) into the Pi from your PC. Using Visual Studio Code (via a File Share) with a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian).Right click on Windows folder and open with Visual Studio Code.Visual Studio Code Jumpstart for Node.js Developers.
Here's some great tutorials for getting started with the Raspberry Pi, Node, and Visual Studio Code. The Raspberry Pi 3 is a great starter computer for makers not just because it is faster than the Pi and Pi 2, but because it has Wifi built in! This makes setup and messing around a lot easier. I picked up a Raspberry Pi 3 recently for MarchIsForMakers.
