• Debug view to visualize pedal inputs
• Auto-detection of commonly used USB pedals
• Configuration options for custom devices

Requirements

• VS Code 1.60.0 or higher
• Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals (or compatible USB foot pedals)
• Operating system with HID device support

Installation

1. Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace
2. Connect your foot pedals to your computer
3. If your pedals aren't recognized automatically, use the "Pedal Pilot: Select Pedal Device" command to select them
