Compiling Marlin 2.0.x horribly slow under Arduino IDE 1.8.12

It seems 5-10 times slower than compiling 1.1.8 !!!

I realize it's more complex but even so ...

Try compiling with vscode and platformio. When I compiled marlin2 for an mks base 1.4 board (atmega IIRC) using vscode and platformio it breezed through it. 2 minutes or so.

Does PlatformIO support Noteoad++

I don't think so but don't quote me. I use notepad++ but it was faster overall to setup vscode and install platformio inside vscode.

OK Thanks

Looking at the documentation it would appear that you cannot debug a Mega2560. (Atmel studio does (also built on top of VS)

How do you upload the program ?? Via the serial port and bootloader ??

Is AvrDude integrated in ?? or do you have to run it seperately ??

Thanks in advance

I was already setup to do hex file uploads to my printers so vscode and pio were all that I setup for compiling. My raspberry pi which hosts my printers has repetier server running and that allows me to do firmware uploads to boards that are connected.

So, I couldn't say if avrdude and vscode are integrated as all I do in vscode is compile marlin. The same goes for the bin files for my mks sgen L boards. Compile with vscode then upload to the board through repetier server.

I know octoprint has a plugin that allows firmware uploads as well.

Thanks for the info.
