Hi. I note the new IDE won’t show the Arduino serial number in the get board Info window.
I use this to validate I have the correct Arduino before I upload software updates. As I have 10 connected to the same PC I don’t always trust the com port number has not changed and double check I have selected the correct Arduino via checking the mega serial number. Has this been moved elsewhere. Or can the IDE be updated to provide this previous function
