Adding USK guide codes to Arduino ide 2.3.2

Software IDE 2.x
1

Hello,
Nubie here. I picked up a Vilros Ultimate Starter Kit with an Arduino UNO in it. I down loaded Arduino 2.3.2. I then down loaded the Vilros USK guide codes and unzipped them. I'm on Mac. I'm trying to add these codes to the example folder with no luck. From looking around, I found the instructions that says go Arduino IDE>Resources>App>Node.....examples. I am not seeing Node so I can't get to the examples folder to add the USK guide codes. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave Carlson

I moved your topic to an appropriate forum category @1052dc-comcast-net.

In the future, please take some time to pick the forum category that best suits the subject of your topic. There is an "About the _____ category" topic at the top of each category that explains its purpose.

Hi @1052dc-comcast-net. I think it the creator of that "uskcode" project gave bad advice.

I'm pretty sure macOS will have a fit if you modify an app for security reasons. Each release of the Arduino IDE application is signed and notarized by a special procedure using an SSL certificate owned by Arduino and Arduino's verified membership in the Apple Developer Program. The application signature is verified by macOS before running it and it is quite strict about this (there are ways to override the feature, but it is a bit complex and not something you should do for silly reasons like this).

The added examples would be lost every time you updated to a new version of Arduino IDE.

You can simply download the sketches and then use File > Open... in Arduino IDE to open them from wherever you found convenient to store them.

If you want to make them more convenient, just copy the sketches to your sketchbook folder like any other sketch:

  1. Select Arduino IDE > Settings... from the Arduino IDE menus.
    The "Preferences" dialog will open.
  2. Take note of the path shown in the "Sketchbook location" field of the "Preferences" dialog.
  3. Check the box next to Show verbose output during: ☐ upload.
  4. Click the "OK" button.
    The "Preferences" dialog will close.
  5. Copy the folder containing the "uskcodes" project to the path you saw in the "Sketchbook location" preference.

After doing that, you can open the sketches in Arduino IDE via the File > Sketchbook menu.

Thank you for taking the time to reply. That's what I've decided to do. I just open them from the folder I have on my desk top, the Arduino application opens and I'm in business.
Thanks again,
Dave
