How to Set Up Visual Studio Code to Program Raspberry Pi Pico (Windows) | No Errors/Build failures

This video covers how to set up Visual Studio Code IDE windows machine with the required toolchain to begin programming the brand-new Raspberry Pi Pico. The toolchain has been installed and Visual Studio Code has been set up to write C code, build it and upload it to the Pico.
Common errors and build failure reasons and their Fixes are also provided. Future videos will explore how to write your own code to the Raspberry Pi Pico, stay tuned for them!
