Arduino Pro IDE

The Arduino Pro IDE brings features that address the needs of advanced users whilst retaining continuity with the simple "classic" Arduino IDE.

This repo is a preview of the final product and has to be considered as an unstable alpha version.

Idea

The Arduino Pro IDE is a completely new Development Environment for Arduino Programming based on more modern technologies.

Getting Started

Download

Release builds

You can download the latest release for testing and feedback from the Releases Section of this repo. Note: This is not a production release!

Nightly builds

These builds are generated every day at 03:00 GMT from the master branch of the (currently private) source repository and should be considered unstable. In order to get the latest nightly build available for the supported platform, use the following links:

Platform	32 bit	64 bit
Linux	Not available yet	Nightly Linux 64 bit
Windows	Not available yet	Nightly Windows 64 bit
macOS	Not available yet	Nightly macOS 64 bit

Note: These links return an HTTP 302: Found response, redirecting to latest generated builds by replacing latest with the latest available build date, using the format YYYYMMDD (i.e for 2019/Aug/06 latest is replaced with 20190806)

You can find the changelog for the nightly builds here. The changelog contains all changes since the latest release in reverse chronological order.

Install

Arduino Pro IDE does not require an installer. Just extract the downloaded file to a convenient location.

Usage

To start Arduino Pro IDE, run the executable you'll find in its installation folder:

Windows: Arduino Pro IDE.exe
Linux: arduino-pro-ide
macOS: Arduino Pro IDE.app

Note: It's not possible to start Arduino Pro IDE on Linux from the file browser. Open a terminal in the Arduino Pro IDE installation folder and run the command ./arduino-pro-ide

Install a core to support your board

The Arduino Pro IDE does not provide pre-installed cores, so, to have board support, you have to install a core by using the menu

Tools -> Board Manager...

User Feedback and Issue Report

Before releasing the source code we want to move out of the alpha and we want your feedback to do this! Please test the Arduino Pro IDE and report bugs or feature requests at: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-pro-ide/issues.

Technology

The Arduino Pro IDE is based on the following technologies:

Arduino CLI: Running in daemon mode, it provides all the main Arduino features
Eclipse Theia: The frontend of the application is based on this Open Source IDE
Electron: The framework behind Eclipse Theia, allows users to use web technologies on desktop environments

If you want to know more about the people involved please look at the Contribution list.

Releases

This Repository doesn't hold source code yet. Its main use is to collect issues and keep track of them. We regularly release new versions of the compiled tool. You can find them under "Releases"
