How to Upload Program to Arduino Using PlatformIO IDE for VSCode

When you want to upload a program to Arduino, I think you’ll use Arduino IDE.

302 Moved Temporarily - 
When I tried to run FreeRTOS on M5Stack, I forgot but Arduino IDE didn’t work as I expected. But, PlatformIO IDE for VSCode worked.
Unlock the true potential of embedded software development with PlatformIO's collaborative ecosystem, embracing declarative principles, test-driven methodologies, and modern toolchains for unrivaled success.
PlatformIO: Your Gateway to Embedded Software Development Excellence - PlatformIO
At that time, it’s difficult to find articles how to use PlatformIO IDE for VSCode for me. So, I’ll leave this article as my note. This article explains how to light the LED on Arduino UNO. Please connect Arduino UNO to PC beforehand.
