I got a weather station that uses the Ideaspark ESP8266 and Im having a hard time connecting it to my chromebook, has there been any updates on getting it to run on chromebook because the AnduinoCreateAgent-1.4.1 linux-amd64-installer.run wont work if that's even how to install the crate agent for the chromebook. I need an idiots guide.
Hi @watson4781. Arduino Cloud Editor does not require or use Arduino Create Agent on ChromeOS machines. So you don't need to worry at all about trying to install Arduino Create Agent, and even if you managed to do that it wouldn't help.
You can use the Arduino Cloud Editor to upload to the boards listed here:
These boards are supported:
- Arduino UNO R4 Minima
- Arduino UNO R4 WiFi
- Arduino UNO (R3 and older revisions)
- Arduino MKR WiFi 1010
- Arduino Nano 33 IoT
- Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect
- Arduino UNO WiFi Rev2
There isn't any support for using Cloud Editor to upload to ESP8266-based boards from ChromeOS machines. It does have support for compiling sketches for boards other than the ones with upload support. This means you can still use Cloud Editor to develop sketches for other boards, and compile those sketches to check for any compile time errors, but you would need to use on a Linux, macOS, or Windows machine if you wanted to use Cloud Editor to upload that sketch to an ESP8266-based board.
