The easiest way to program the microcontroller is with PlatformIO in Visual Studio Code. Here is a short video tutorial:

As shown in the video, please install Visual Studio Code. In Visual Studio Code, then install the PlatformIO extension.

Please note that installing the extension can take a long time and requires a restart of VSCode at the end.

Install the platformio package to be able to compile the firmware.

As a development environment, VS Code is recommended. It offers good integration with the platformio plugin, but any other editor will also work.

An overview of programming examples and how to run them can be found here.
