As with its predecessor, it allows you to write sketches for microcontrollers made by Arduino and can be extended using the Boards Manager to use other manufacturers’ microcontrollers as well. This new IDE features a sleek new design with a choice of Dark or Light modes, an improved Serial Plotter, and an integrated real-time debugger. It also adds features like code completion, and it integrates with the Arduino IoT Cloud to allow you to edit both your local and cloud-based sketches in one place. The product has been in development for a couple of years now, and it finally made it to the Release Candidate version at the end of 2021. I’m examining Release candidate 3, which was released on January 11, 2022. As with all release candidates, there are still a few bugs to be ironed out, and I’ll show you a couple of them in this video, along with some workarounds. If you’re viewing this in the future, then some of these bugs will likely be fixed. Here is what we will be covering in today’s video: 00:00 - Introduction 01:30 - Arduino IDE Evolution 04:14 - Installing the IDE 08:40 - Basic IDE Features 11:38 - Preferences & Settings 14:35 - Run Blink on Uno 16:18 - Serial Monitor 20:07 - Serial Plotter 23:36 - Arduino IoT Cloud 25:22 - Boards Manager Intro 26:54 - Arduino Nano AVR 29:25 - Arduino Nano 33 IoT 30:38 - ESP32 33:20 - Seeeduino XIAO 36:32 - Raspberry Pi Pico 39:14 - Library Manager 42:53 - Summary - final thoughts 46:32 - Conclusion As the new Arduino IDE 2.0 uses the same Sketchbook folder as the holder IDE, you’ll have access to all of your existing sketches and libraries when you install it. For that reason, I would recommend that you give it a try, you can always revert to the older IDE if you don’t like it. I hope you enjoy the video, and if you want to discuss your experiences with the new Arduino IDE 2.0 the best place to do that is on the DroneBot Workshop forums, where you’ll find a dedicated discussion area for this new product from Arduino.
