Hello Olle!
Ok, I didn’t have PlatformIO setup BUT I’ll set it up and get it working with DaisyDuino right now.
Please note that I juuuuust did this so there might be some unnessary steps and such, but I was able to get it working. I’ll do a more detailed tutorial on this in the future. Thank you for bringing it up!
If anyone with more experience using PlatformIO+DaisyDuino, please feel free to provide feedback. Thanks so much!
I do think it flashes faster than the Arduino IDE 
Ok, let’s get this working!
First, open up VS Code and install “PlatformIO IDE” in the “Extensions”.
After restarting VS Code, click on the ant/alien icon on the left.
“Create New Project” and click on “+ Project” and call it “DaisyBlink” or etc and arbitrary select “ST STM32“F0308DISCOVERY”. And then select “Arduino” as Framework. Click “Finish”.
I don’t know if you have to install STM32Cube but I recommend doing it just in case. I had it installed already.
After creating a new project, VS Code should automatically open up platform.ini. Please replace what’s already there with the following:
[env:electrosmith_daisy]
platform = ststm32
board = electrosmith_daisy
framework = arduino
; ----------
; Everything(?) below this needs to be added to use DaisyDuino in PlatformIO.
; Setting up a new project or importing from Arduino does not add any of this.
; ----------
lib_deps =
electro-smith/DaisyDuino@^1.5.2
Wire
build_flags =
; -w ; optional - to suppress redundant definition warnings
-D HAL_SDRAM_MODULE_ENABLED ; required? build fails without this one
; These flags enable serial monitor over USB UART
-D USBD_USE_CDC ; Define USB Communications Device Class (for serial I/O)
-D USBCON ; Enable USB connection in Arduino (?)
; This is not documented on PlatformIO website but
; enables the DFU firmware upload (over USB)
upload_protocol = dfu
Thank you Nick (@infrasonicaudio) for this!! I referenced this post.
Open main.cpp in “src”, and copy and paste:
#include <Arduino.h>
// the setup function runs once when you press reset or power the board
void setup() {
// initialize digital pin LED_BUILTIN as an output.
pinMode(LED_BUILTIN, OUTPUT);
}
// the loop function runs over and over again forever
void loop() {
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, HIGH); // turn the LED on (HIGH is the voltage level)
delay(1000); // wait for a second
digitalWrite(LED_BUILTIN, LOW); // turn the LED off by making the voltage LOW
delay(1000); // wait for a second
}
Click on the checkmark icon on the top right and click “build”. Put Daisy into bootloader mode. And then click “Upload”. And the onboard LED should blink!!
Don’t worry about these “errors”.

Let’s test audio…
Choose audio example of your choice. Since I have a Pod, I chose the oscillator example:
#include <Arduino.h>
// Title: oscillator
// Description: Control a sine wave freq with a knob
// Hardware: Daisy Seed
// Author: Ben Sergentanis
// Breadboard
// https://raw.githubusercontent.com/electro-smith/DaisyExamples/master/seed/Osc/resources/Osc_bb.png
// Schematic:
// https://raw.githubusercontent.com/electro-smith/DaisyExamples/master/seed/Osc/resources/Osc_schem.png
#include "DaisyDuino.h"
DaisyHardware hw;
size_t num_channels;
static Oscillator osc;
float pitchknob;
void MyCallback(float **in, float **out, size_t size) {
// Convert Pitchknob MIDI Note Number to frequency
osc.SetFreq(mtof(pitchknob));
for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) {
float sig = osc.Process();
for (size_t chn = 0; chn < num_channels; chn++) {
out[chn][i] = sig;
}
}
}
void setup() {
float sample_rate;
// Initialize for Daisy pod at 48kHz
hw = DAISY.init(DAISY_SEED, AUDIO_SR_48K);
num_channels = hw.num_channels;
sample_rate = DAISY.get_samplerate();
osc.Init(sample_rate);
osc.SetFreq(440);
osc.SetAmp(0.5);
osc.SetWaveform(osc.WAVE_TRI);
DAISY.begin(MyCallback);
}
void loop() { pitchknob = 24.0 + ((analogRead(A0) / 1023.0) * 60.0); }
“Build” and then “Upload” and it’s beeping!!
Let me know if you have any questions!!
So, you’ll probably be able to un-pin it when the new version comes out, if you want.
