You can view or change the location of the sketchbook location from with the Preferences dialog.Īllows you to manage sketches with more than one file (each of which appears in its own tab). The first time you run the Arduino software, it will automatically create a directory for your sketchbook.

The sketches in your sketchbook can be opened from the File > Sketchbook menu or from the Open button on the toolbar. The Arduino environment includes the concept of a sketchbook: a standard place to store your programs (or sketches). When using an AVR ISP, you'll need to select the item corresponding to your programmer from the Serial Port menu. Ensure that you've selected the correct board from the Boards menu before burning the bootloader. This is not required for normal use of an Arduino board but is useful if you purchase a new ATmega (which normally come without a bootloader). The items in this menu allow you to burn a bootloader onto the microcontroller on an Arduino board. It should automatically refresh every time you open the top-level tools menu. This menu contains all the serial devices (real or virtual) on your machine. See below for descriptions of the various boards. indents it so that opening and closing curly braces line up, and that the statements instead curly braces are indented more. Files can be removed from the sketch using the tab menu. The new file appears in a new tab in the sketch window. For more details, see libraries below.Īdds a source file to the sketch (it will be copied from its current location). The menus are context sensitive which means only those items relevant to the work currently being carried out are available.Ĭopies the code of your sketch to the clipboard in a forum suitable for posting to the forum, complete with syntax coloring.Ĭopies the code of your sketch to the clipboard as HTML, suitable for embedding in web pages.Īdds a library to your sketch by inserting #include statements at the code of your code. Additional commands are found within the five menus: File, Edit, Sketch, Tools, Help.
