This is a fork of the JetBrains IntelliJ MicroPython plugin. Credits to Andrey Vlasovskikh for creating the original plugin and to Ilia Motornyi for his original work on the communication layer and file system view.
Many thanks also go to Jos Verlinde for creating and maintaining the MicroPython stubs that this plugin uses.
I have decided fork the original jetbrains plugin as its development had slowed and I wanted to focus on implementing more advanced features that I deem invaluable based on my professional experience working with MicroPython
I believe that the MicroPython community needs robust, actively maintained and developed tools adding MicroPython support to modern industry-standard IDEs. My aim with this fork is to address this need.
There will be frequent updates, I'm actively working on developing new features and fixing bugs in the existing code. If you run into any problems while using this plugin, please create an issue. For any suggestions or feature requests, feel free to start a discussion.
Some of the features you can expect soon include:
- Reworked stubs manager, allowing on-demand downloading and updating of stub packages
- Integration with mpy-cross to allow compiling to bytecode
Long term plans:
- Built-in MicroPython firmware flashing support
- After the full-release of this plugin I might consider also developing MicroPython plugins for VSCode and possibly Visual Studio 2022
