Welcome to Workbench Developer Docs

Introduction​

Particle Workbench is an integrated development environment (IDE) extension for Visual Studio Code. It provides a complete toolchain for building, debugging, and deploying firmware to Particle devices, with support for local development and cloud workflows.

Overview​

Workbench brings together the Particle toolchain and developer experience inside Visual Studio Code. It is intended for developers who prefer a rich, desktop-based IDE with debugging and project management features.

With Workbench, you can:

  • Create and manage Particle projects
  • Write, build, and debug Device OS firmware locally
  • Flash devices over USB or over-the-air (OTA)
  • Access Particle Cloud functions, variables, and events directly from the IDE
  • Integrate with Git and other VS Code extensions for a full workflow
