Select the target device (ArduinoMega2560, ...)

Software PLC IDE
1

Dear community,
i´d like to program an ArduinoMega2560 or ESP32 with Arduino PLC IDE. But there is just one problem: In the offical manuel with you can find in the software, is described on page 30 that you only have to the following step an you can start.

  1. Click the File>Import project from target menu voice of the PLC IDE main window,
    which opens the Target list dialog box.
  2. From the shown list select the target device from which you want to upload the project.

But there is no way to choose an device like shown in the deskription.
Sorry for won´t putting the manuel here, but i am new. That means, i can´t upload anything. The datapath for the manuel will be: Drive_letter:\Folder_name\Arduino PLC IDE\Docs
Thanks for you help
Best regards

Hi @kinimode. The only targets that are supported by the Arduino PLC IDE are the Portenta Machine Control and Opta:

https://docs.arduino.cc/software/plc-ide/tutorials/plc-ide-setup-license/#required-hardware-and-software

If you want to use Arduino PLC IDE, you will need to purchase one of those devices. They are available from:

For the Mega 2560, ESP32, and other Arduino boards, you should use the free open source Arduino IDE or the Arduino Cloud Editor.

You can learn about Arduino IDE from the documentation here:

https://docs.arduino.cc/software/ide-v2

And Cloud Editor here:

Good moring @ptillisch,
thanks for your replay. I only wondering why you as Arduino Team and distrebuter of the software are useing such a garfik in the manuel, if these funktions are not avalible right now.

Is there anything planned for the future? Because i´d like to train the software at home with basic components and use the professional ones in the resarch and development workshop.

Best regards

You are welcome. I'm glad if I was able to be of assistance.

No. Support for the Mega 2560 and ESP32 boards will never be added to Arduino PLC IDE.
