Arduino IDE 2.x (beta)

This repository contains the source code of the Arduino IDE 2.x, which is currently in beta stage. If you're looking for the stable IDE, go to the repository of the 1.x version at https://github.com/arduino/Arduino.

The Arduino IDE 2.x is a major rewrite, sharing no code with the IDE 1.x. It is based on the Theia IDE framework and built with Electron. The backend operations such as compilation and uploading are offloaded to an arduino-cli instance running in daemon mode. This new IDE was developed with the goal of preserving the same interface and user experience of the previous major version in order to provide a frictionless upgrade.

⚠️ This is beta software. Help us test it!

Download

You can download the latest version from the software download page on the Arduino website.

Nightly builds

These builds are generated every day at 03:00 GMT from the main branch and should be considered unstable:

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)

Contributions and development

Contributions are very welcome! You can browse the list of open issues to see what's needed and then you can submit your code using a Pull Request. Please provide detailed descriptions. We also appreciate any help in testing issues and patches contributed by other users.

This repository contains the main code, but two more repositories are included during the build process:

• vscode-arduino-tools: provides support for the language server and the debugger
• arduino-language-server: provides the language server that parses Arduino code

See the BUILDING.md for a technical overview of the application and instructions for building the code.
