davidmonterocrespo24 86879f3a34 chore(vscode-extension): .vscodeignore + 0.2.0 .vsix artefact 
Adds the missing `.vscodeignore` so future `vsce package` runs don't
bundle the webview's `node_modules/` (which made the v0.1.0 release
17 MB instead of <1 MB — webview is a thin React WebView app that
ships only its compiled bundle).

With the ignore in place, 0.2.0 packages down to 100 KB (10 files:
extension.js + webview index.js + manifest + LICENSE + README +
changelog + icon + diagram schema). Matches the precedent of
committing the .vsix alongside the source for offline installation.

Velxio Simulator for VS Code

Local Arduino, RP2040 and ESP32 simulator inside your editor. Compile your sketch, watch it run in a side-by-side WebView, and stream serial to the integrated terminal — no board, no USB cable, no separate IDE.

Requirements

  • VS Code 1.85 or newer.
  • A Velxio Pro subscription. A 30-day free trial is included and starts automatically the first time you sign in.
  • An internet connection. The extension validates your subscription before every compile and run; offline use is not supported in the VS Code build. For offline work, use the Velxio Desktop app instead.

Getting started

  1. Install the extension from the marketplace.
  2. Open a folder containing velxio.toml or diagram.json (or create one with Velxio: Open Simulator).
  3. Run Velxio: Sign In from the command palette. Your browser opens https://velxio.dev/auth/vscode; sign in (or create an account), then click Authorise VS Code. The page hands a license token back to VS Code via the vscode://velxio.velxio-simulator/auth URI scheme.
  4. The status bar in the bottom-left shows Velxio: Trial 30d (or Velxio: Pro for paid subscribers). Compile and Run are now enabled.

If your browser blocks the deep-link, or if you'd rather paste the key manually, run Velxio: Paste License Key and enter the vlx_pro_... / vlx_trial_... string from Account → My licenses.

Commands

Command Description
Velxio: Open Simulator Open the side-by-side simulator panel.
Velxio: Compile Sketch Build the active project (requires Pro).
Velxio: Run Simulation Compile and start the simulation.
Velxio: Stop Simulation Stop the current simulation.
Velxio: Select Board Pick the target board (Arduino Uno, RP2040, ESP32, …).
Velxio: Sign In Browser-based sign-in via velxio.dev.
Velxio: Paste License Key Paste a key manually.
Velxio: Sign Out Forget the stored key.
Velxio: Show License Status Show plan, trial countdown, renewal date.

Settings

Setting Default Description
velxio.defaultBoard arduino-uno Board used when none is configured in velxio.toml.
velxio.autoStartBackend true Auto-start the local compilation backend when needed.
velxio.backendPort 0 Fixed port for the backend (0 = auto-assign).
velxio.arduinoCliPath "" Path to arduino-cli (leave empty to auto-detect).
velxio.licenseApiBase https://velxio.dev License validation endpoint. Override only for development.

Pricing

  • Free trial — 30 days, full Velxio Pro features, no credit card.
  • Pro $15/mo — unlocks the VS Code extension, the Velxio Desktop app, and the premium components on velxio.dev.
  • Pro Max $35/mo — everything in Pro plus the in-app AI assistant and priority simulation queue.

Manage your subscription at https://velxio.dev/billing.

Troubleshooting

  • Velxio requires an internet connection — the extension cannot reach https://velxio.dev/api/pro/license/validate. Check your network, VPN, and any corporate proxy.
  • Your trial has ended — start a Pro subscription at https://velxio.dev/billing. Existing trial keys re-activate automatically once the subscription is live.
  • Status bar shows Velxio: Sign in — run Velxio: Sign In or Velxio: Paste License Key.
  • Deep-link doesn't return to VS Code — some browsers silently block custom URL schemes. The page shows an Open VS Code button as a fallback; click it to retry the deep-link.

Privacy

The extension sends only your license key + your VS Code version + OS arch to https://velxio.dev for validation. No sketch contents, file paths, or telemetry leave your machine. See the Velxio privacy policy for the full picture.
