• Add some information about how to use VSCode

Installing VSCode is quite easy, as is using it. Once you have it installed, install PlatformIO and read about running the FC code.

1. Download VSCode.
2. Run the installer.

That's literally it.

Add some stuff about first time setup and cloning the repo. Add some basic tools and a brief overview of how to use them. Link to other VSCode guides or tutorials.

Install any of these by simply searching for them in the Extensions tab on the left-hand vertical menu bar in VSCode. The PIO installation page has some more useful info about how to use it.

• PlatformIO - Basically a must-have that allows you to compile and upload code to embedded systems.
• C/C++ - Provides IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing for C/C++. VSCode should recommend this when you open a C/C++ file.
• Python - Provides IntelliSense, debugging, and code browsing for Python. VSCode should recommend this when you open a Python file.
