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.
The Arduino Pro IDE is a completely new Development Environment for Arduino Programming based on more modern technologies.
You can download this alpha preview for testing and feedback from the Releases Section of this repo. Note: This is not a production release!
The Arduino Pro IDE uses the arduino-cli binary found in the system's PATH or its own embedded one if the arduino-cli is not found.
So please make sure you have the latest version of the Arduino CLI as described in the How to Install the Arduino CLI doc,
or remove your arduino-cli from the system PATH.
You can check your arduino-cli version with
$ arduino-cli version
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...
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.
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.
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"
