Sincerly, the web editor is nice and good looking, I have just tried it for curiosity. Maybe because I am a developer, I don't think it is the best way for working with Arduino. Yes, for sharing small sketches it could be nice, but a desktop environment is still better than a web editor. There are already code editors very advanced and extensible out there. They are cross platform and there are already extensions for compiling and uploading directly from within the editor. Why don't you create and support official extensions for Atom and Visual Studio Code?
As it stands my understanding is that it is meant for all.
And by that i include the many newcomers to "Arduino" who would probably quit if they had to start and learn VS etc.
For those much more advanced they already have better tools than either CREATE or the desktop IDE and in most cases can run them without much problem.
Its not a case of "How advanced can they make it" its how easy can they make it for transition from the regular IDE and still keep it simple.
As you yourself say it fits that bill just fine although there are more bits seeming to get added each week whether it be a tweak or and addition.
AM sure the dev team will take your thoughts onboard but there is quite the list of things to be done to it yet already.
This is a great add on to the Arduino environment. this makes programming on the move much easier and can now keep all my sketches in one place. I love that you have added the facility to expand and collapse the code with the arrows to the side. This makes it much easier to work on big projects. Thank you
It is available for Windows, MAC, Linux and CHROMEBOOK but not for regular android.
If yours is a regular android tablet then Create will not currently work on that platform.
The plugin was installed with a no-admin networkaccount via a local admin.
Each time we have to install the plugin again.
Can it be done without reinstalling the plugin.
We don't want to work with an admin networkaccount.
Might I suggest you catch up on some of the posts at the top of the EDITOR section so you can add any information that is particular to your setup.
Individual schools tend to have different policy's in regards to software such as the editor so please add anything that could help in that regards.
Browser, OS etc etc. is all important information in getting you up and running.
The team is very responsive to EDU situations so there is a good chance they can help you out.
There are a few posts about this type of issue.
You may want to catch up on those first to see how far they take you.
There are also some additional posts in the CHROME editor section (not the same as Chrome browser) that may also help.
Hi guys, total noob here.
Just got an Uno with a kit of handy bits and I'm trying it for the first time.
I'm using an old laptop with Kubuntu on it.
Tried the web editor. Stuff opens up OK. Got the board connected and there's what I assume is a power LED and a flashing LED.
I tried the blink example in the editor but nothing happens to the board. Realised I need to use the breadboard. Got that all connected up to the right places. Decided to try the fade example as I can definitely tell that's nothing to do with the onboard LEDs.
Nothing happens to the LED though. It's definitely connected up OK.
I have the board selected in the editor as the Arduino/Genuino Uno. The arrow to upload to the board appears to be greyed out.
No idea why.
This seems to be the crux of the problem. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
There are some LINUX specific posts you might want to read up on.
Think there were a couple about root permissions.
Sorry am not a linux person.
IIRC there were a couple more about 32 bit versions too so if it is older hardware they might also be worth looking out for.
The search magnifying glass (top right) could be you best bet but try be specific in your search terms as its not the best but it does work.
