Use programmers from board definitions

[maxekman]

I noticed that the Hologram.io Dash board uses a custom programmer in the Arduino IDE (see screenshot). I'm not familiar with how the Arduino IDE handles this, but it seems like the additional programmers in comes with the board definition. Currently the programmers in the VSCode extension are hard coded to the default programmers in Arduino.

Is there any plan for supporting programmers from the board definition?

@maxekman , I don't have enough knowledge about your custom programmer, I suggest you can git clone code of vscode-arduino and add your code to support it, we will review your pull request. maybe it is a solution.

Thanks for the advice! I’ll see what I can do.

I have done exactly that and modified the extension to automatically read programmers from the arduino platforms. I have submitted the pull request, but this is my first time contributing to an existing github project, so I hope I did the pull request process correctly.
