Even with the VEX extension, the download button doesn’t show up even with a controller connected. How do I upload my code to the controller?
Is a brain connected to the controller ? programs are stored on the brain not on the controller. perhaps try using a direct USB connection to the brain first.

It’s possible you have the wrong folder open. Navigate to the folder and ensure that the currently opened folder has a .vscode subfolder with vex-project-settings.json inside.

Do you have Microsoft’s C/C++ Extension installed?
If so, is it enabled?
This is a known bug and is fixed for the next release version of the VEX Extension.
At some point, vscode stopped allowing workspace settings to be written when the referenced extension is not installed, disabled, or has not been initialized yet. This causes an exception to get thrown during project init and prevents the toolbar from being displayed.
In your case, its probably because the C/C++ extension is not installed or it has been disabled.
So I would:
- Install Microsoft’s C/C++ Extension.
- Reload you project workspace by closing, then reopening your project in vscode.
Give this a try and let me know what happens!
