Unfortunately, things change after I release a video. The process for updating Marlin has evolved and so have the software tools required. In this video, I cover step by step how to setup Visual Studio Code and the Auto Build Marlin extension.

The good news is the process is easier than ever. Thanks to the Marlin devs for continually improving their FREE firmware and making our lives easier.
