-# mpremote-vscode
-Command palette access to mpremote Python module.  Learn how to use it
-in the [wiki](https://github.com/DavesCodeMusings/mpremote-vscode/wiki)
+# uv-mpremote-vscode
 
-## Features
-The goal of this extension is giving easy access to some of mpremote's
-functionality from within VS Code.
-
-The most notable features are the the ability to access a REPL prompt,
-upload files from the development host to the microcontroller, and
-install packages using MicroPython's MIP tool.
-
-If more than one MicroPython device is plugged in when a command is run,
-you will be given a selection list of COM ports to choose from.
-
-## Installing and Using the Extension
-The extension can be installed from the VS Code Marketplace:
-https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/publishers/DavesCodeMusings
-
-To use the extension:
-1. In VS Code, open the folder containing your MicroPython project's files.
-2. Plug in your microcontroller and find it under Serial Ports in VS Code's Explorer pane.
-3. Right-click the microcotroller's serial port to access a menu of MPRemote commands.
-
-## Requirements
-The host running this extension must have Python 3 installed as well
-as the mpremote module.
-
-You can get Python from: https://www.python.org/downloads/
-
-The mpremote module can be installed with pip, like this:
-`py -m pip install mpremote`
-
-## About Version Numbers
-Older version numbers attempted to follow MicroPython's mpremote version. Starting with 2.0, this extension's version is independent.

+This plugin is a slight modification of [https://github.com/DavesCodeMusings/mpremote-vscode](https://github.com/DavesCodeMusings/mpremote-vscode). It has been chagned to accommodate the `uv` package manager and to automatically detect the Python binary used to run programs using the manager.
