Incredibly slow to compile/upload. An example sketch that takes a very acceptable 29 seconds to compile/upload with ver 1.8 , takes over 7 minutes with ver 2.2 ... (actually I gave up waiting). I've got to assume there is some conflict with the setup/ background tasks of my computer that is causing this slowness with ver 2.2 ... but I can't waste any more time tring to identify what the cause is.
My Firefox window starts misbehaving and crashes, half an hour or so after the IDE 2.2 has been started.
So someone new to Arduino, downloading the latest IDE, is possibly going to be put off using this platform for life....
I wanted to provide an update on this subject. ESP32 support has now been added to the "arduino-littlefs-upload" extension. You can get the latest release with the ESP32 support here:
I have only recently discovered and started to enjoy learning about Arduino. As part of my learning experience I started with kits from Dr. Duino. We are warned that using IDE 2.x will cause problems with their products.
Iām almost ready to branch out to other sources. When I have completed my Dr. Duino kits I will upgrade to 2.x.
Unfortunately, I cannot provide a link to their statement. All of their kit assembly instructions are online and password protected. They are also copywrited.
However I feel that I can pass along the following information in good faith:
With the exception of their Escape From Oonie Island "kit", when discussing downloading the IDE a warning is issued to use the Legacy Version of the IDE only. We are instructed not to use the web version or Version 2.X.
I recently opened a support ticket asking if this were still the case. Again, in good faith, I will pass along part of the information regarding the IDE usage. This response was received on 22 Mar 2024:
"please stick with version 1.8.x. Although version 2.0 may work, we have not finished fully testing it, so we can't fully support it"
I can't find preferences.txt. itis not where they say it is, in Windows.I can't find arduino15. I can't set auto format style to Allman. it's like driving someone elses car, and you can't adjust the seats and mirrors.
You will have the same problem with 1.x in Windows It's in the AppData directory and files might be hidden; you will have to enable "show hidden files and directories" in Windows Explorer.
Below linked post has a .clangformat file attached that provides the Allman setting; it might have a few other changes, I can't remember. The link provided in post #155 will tell you where to place that file.
At this moment I'm forced to use a 32-bit Linux version so can't help with that one.
I heard it was underwhelming and I was doing fine with my 1.8.10. I have tried the online Arduino thing, it also seems to forget what I did.
I have had enough issues with Arduino IDE thinking it's Processing and saving sketches to the wrong location, plus, my favorite builds work on what I have and I don't want to rebuild. It was hard enough the first time.
